Photo Friday: City

The Viking Bar has been closed for a while now which is a shame. It was an iconic landmark near the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota.

Celebrating summer (July theme day)

Here in Minnesota if you don't spend some time during the summer on a lake, you can't really claim citizen status. So, celebrate summer the Minnesota way and see how others around the world are enjoying the season at the City Daily Photo Project.

Shades and a dark suit

It must be a Secret Serviceman. Indeed. President Obama stopped by the local creamery yesterday for an ice cream cone. Most of us on the street never got closer than the nearest security guy.

Lovin' the Green Line

More fun with the iPhone app InstaFrame on the opening weekend of the Green Line. Free rides for all!

Unrecognizable

The fun continues with my iPhone apps. This one is BlurFX and ScratchCam taken a couple of weeks ago near St Anthony Main during an iPhone photo workshop. To see more ABC Wednesday photos, go here. To see more app-transformed photos, go here.

Bent steel

Another iPhone manipulation using TiltShiftGen to focus on the guy walking under the beam and Distressed FX to enhance color and make the shadows pop. This was at the ruins of the mill fire that now makes up part of the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis.

Romantic railroad tracks

A most excellent day spent learning how to use my iPhone camera and a load of really fun apps to make my photos appear something other than the way I took them. This is the Distressed app giving the image - the railroad tracks right next to the Minneapolis Photo Center -  its dreamy appearance. The birds were added!

R is for ravenous

This eagle was devouring a woodchuck and just didn't want to let go as I approached for a close-up.
