Charlie Parr

Last year, one of my favorite Minnesotan musicians came through Seattle.   I asked him if we could meet up for coffee and if I could take his photo with my Rolleiflex.  

 I give you Charlie Parr.  

 

 

While attending Winona State University, I would go to see Charlie play at Ed's No Name Bar.  His music reminds me of home and I still try to catch him live every time I can.   If you ever get the chance to sit down with him and chat over a cup of coffee, I highly recommend it.

Colorado in Film

12 sets of negatives sit coiled on my shelf.  

My friend Matthew recently lent me his film scanner to help me digitize my ever-growing film library.   I will be posting examples of my work as I get them scanned and edited.    All shots were made with my Rolleiflex on expired film (circa 1996-2001) donated to me by friends and mentors.   The results are unique and unexpected.

Below are a few photographs taken on a drive from Grand Junction to Telluride, CO in September of 2011.   I was on my way to attend and volunteer with the 2011 Telluride Photo Festival.   The festival was incredible and I was excited to have the opportunity to spend a day capturing a bit of my roadside journey.   Also, it happened to be my 27th birthday.   I highly recommend celebrating your birthday with an adventure visiting strangers in a beautiful location.
