Old places in Minnesota





This was the last day I had in Minnesota. Megan and I went on one last photo adventure for the summer. These are my favorites. I didn't photo shop- sometimes I want to in order to compete with this technological advanced world we live in...but I am not sure how I feel about photo shop yet. As a photographer- is it cheating? Is is taking away from the art of photography? Maybe it is just a new form of Art.....?

Where at least I know I am free

Any one who has ever been close to me, knows that of the love I have for this country. I am so grateful to have been born in the United States; the land of opportunity. I am grateful for the men and women who are working, even fighting, so that we can be safe here at home. I believe the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution to be divinely inspired documents. So when I looked up and I saw this site that you now see in a photograph, it took my breath away. This picture just screams freedom, and triumph over the unjust. With my camera I was able to capture a fraction of a second, so that I could ponder it for an infinite amount of time. It created an opportunity for me to remember what a wonderful gift it is to be living in the land of the brave.
