Grain Elevator - Butterfield, MN

from flickr user RyanShoots 
For some reason I love grain elevators. SOme of them are the size of small towns while others, like this grain elevator in Butterfield, MN, are showing their age but are likely still the hub of activity in their respective small town.

Announcing the MinnPics Store

Rarely do I do self-promotion here because MinnPics is all about great photos captured by great Minnesota photographers but I wanted to officially announce the arrival of the MinnPics Store. After nearly a decade of my wife and myself photographing the scenes of Minnesota we decided last August to pursue selling prints -- in limited quantities -- of our photographs. I'll omit the boring details of how we arrived at the launch of the MinnPics Store but it's here and I think that the price point is fair and that the photos are wall-worthy.

If you don't personally feel the need to purchase a print of one of our photos, please tell a friend or two about the MinnPics Store.

Thanks for reading and now back to your regular dose of photo goodness.
