My parents have about four pair of Cardinals that frequently feed at my dad’s bird feeders each year. While visiting for Christmas I had the chance to borrow my Uncle’s camera and take a few photos of through the family room window. We had just gotten a fresh coating of snow and it was still sticking to the branches so the red birds really popped out against the background. I think setting up a remote camera out by the feeder might be a fun experiment sometime.

 

 

 

Being a Winona State alumni I get the occasional email from the alumni staff telling me of upcoming events taking place in the Twin Cities area. I had yet to go to one but when they said that they were having a pre-game social at Sweeney’s, a bar I frequent regularly anyway, I decided it was time to check one out. Also having shot my fair share of Winona State basketball games while in school I thought it would be a good reason to bring the camera along and try my hand at shooting the game. I can’t remember the last time I photographed a basketball game so it was fun to get back into the action.

Awhile back I had the opportunity to photograph one of Minnesota’s most well known breakdancers known as Daylight. Daylight, aka Damian Day, is a founding member of the Battlecats, and is also a Red Bull sponsored athlete which allows him to tour the country promoting the energy drink.
