St. Roch Pictures

Here are images from the shoot on 3.29.08.

We spent the morning touring the swamp and watched the tour guide feed a crocodile marsh-mellows (I have to wonder if that is legal).

The afternoon was spent shooting the tree planting in the St. Roch neighborhood.

this is a slash of pictures from the whole day.






I can't remember her name but this lady was with a group cleaning up the area, the sidewalk she's standing on will be used for a national call to artists that will bring in life to the neighborhood.

Traffic Zone Opening

The opening tonight went very well I think, it was a great turn out. I think a couple of the girls might have even sold some work.

I was exciting seeing my work up of the wall, I'm even more excited for our graduation show then I was before.

The show runs until the 25th at Traffic Zone Center the Visual Art. #250 3rd Ave N, Minneapolis

Feel free to visit.

The lighter side

It was nice to see that much of New Orleans held onto its heritage after the storm. A few historic homes made it through relevantly unscathed, and others great measures have been taken to bring back its protectoral integrity.

I was fascinating walking through the warehouse full of what to most people looks absolute junk but to the people of "Rebuild New Orleans Together" this was virtual gold mine. Even after everything these odd and ends of someone’s home had been thrown they still maintained more color in their withered pain then I've seen in most Minnesota suburban neighborhood.

No Place Like Home

Hello all,

So I finally landed in Minneapolis last night, 24 hours after I was originally scheduled to land, I was really hoping the snow would be gone by the time I got back, instead I was met with a blizzard. Well I guess I wouldn't have it any other way, it a true Minnesota welcome home.

I was a very long and horrible two days of cancellations, delays, and yet another hotel room. Long story short never ever fly American Airlines.

However the story did have a good ending. Jon proposed to me in the airport last night. Instantly everything that happened the last 30 some hours melted away.

I promise I'll get more picture up soon and hopefully some recorded interviews I took as well. I leave tomorrow for Vegas and will be gone for another week so it might take some time, be patient with me and you will be rewarded :)
