I love this shop. It is open the 2nd Saturday of the month.

The Middle Place

Just finished reading "The Middle Place" by Kelly Corrigan. A good read. Very funny and insightful. See her website here: www.KellyCorrigan.com. I saw her at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines a few weeks ago. Read her book to the light of my headlamp in the tent while in Wyoming.

Magical Yellowstone and the Tetons

We hiked to String Lake in the Tetons.

This was an early morning shot in Yellowstone. The hot springs and a formerly burned area of the park.

The wild, wild west.

This bison was right outside of our tent at Norris campground in Yellowstone National Park. I'm shooting this video from inside our tent and that is the tent flap you see flapping in the wind back and forth.

National Parks special

On May 1, George and I heard Dayton Duncan, speak on his upcoming public television series on the national park system. Dayton is originally from Indianola and is an award winning writer and documentary filmmaker. The lecture was held at Simpson College. A great pleasure to hear him. Got us interested in using our parks pass again this year before it expires so will be headed west in the near future.

South America

Oh, how I love South America. PBS is having a South American blow-out today. All of their shows are featuring that continent. With my job lay-off, I don't know when I'll be able to go back. So, I'm putting a few of my favorite photos here.

Assemblage Show

Some of my work is being shown at Instinct Gallery in downtown Des Moines. The opening reception is Saturday, April 18 from 7-11 p.m. Instinct Gallery is located at 1408 Locust St. Hope to see you there.
