Duluth April 2011
Upon arriving in Duluth we went out for coffee, a common request in my family, the coffee shop we head to automatically is far out of the way of many other far more obvious ones however the quality of the coffee at the Chester Creek Café is to die for. However that isn't the only reason we go there. The Chester bowl is located only a few blocks away. This huge pit in the ground holds a small water fall that at this time of year gushed forth without reprieve to get caught in the water would mean certain... mortal injury. However with in minutes I was done. I had been here before and under better lighting conditions as well. The even cloud diffused light had begun to give way to the power of the sun which commenced to dissolving any hope of a well lit shot. With the appearance of the sun my family gave a short cheer, as it was something we hadn't seen often back home over the last four weeks. Long drawn out shadows began forming amongst the high standing buildings of establishment hanging above my head. A new strategy was in order.

The Spring Series
Recently I began work on a series of photographs taken under natural light and in a classic style of black and white. Thanks to digital post production I was able to refine the classical theme I was going for. Really I was attempting to replicate the classic gritty high contrast black & white photos that made photography famous.
The idea for the series was based upon the frustration I've been having twords our spring weather or lack there of. My region has been locked in stasus by the consistant cool weather and lack of sun. The ever present precipitation has has the added benefit of screwing with my creative mind. In compromise I figured that black and white photography as well as monetizing on the rich earthy tones brought out by the utter lack of foliage as well as developing a constant style in a portfolio filled with inconsistency.
So with out further distraction why don't you take a look. Monochrom
