The photographer says: I walked in to the kitchen and was pulling out the chair to sit and my gravity seamed to leave me. I must have misplaced it...
Today is a long day, I have a big exam tomorrow and my studding will go late into the night. However I took some time today to experiment with a different way of photographing. I used my strobes to light different areas with multiple shots. this particular image is a composite of 5 different images. I had enjoyed this kinda of work, although it was rather time consuming i am pretty happy with how it all turned out. My composite work is not perfect but good enough for me. (must study) I was really able to achieve a surreal look with this and that was my goal.

Cross River

The swiftly moving Cross River on Minnesota's north shore is seen here, captured in a long exposure and in black and white. It makes for a very striking image.
Looking Back

Taken outside the small southern Minnesota town of Alden, the photographer says: We walk the same route nearly every single day. 3 1/2 miles of country roads, and not very often do I turn around and look behind me. Today I did.
Lesbian zombies?
from flickr user Turn To Clear Vision
Taken at the Zombie Pub Crawl in Minneapolis earlier this month, this female zombie apparently has no problem feasting on the flesh of her female zombie counterpart. And here I am thinking that zombies only ate the flesh of non-zombies. I guess I learned something today.
Huge crane comes to Shakopee
from flickr user RuinRaider
A massive crame aids in the construction of three (if I remember correctly) towering grain bins at the Peavey River Terminal in eastern Shakopee on the banks of the Minnesota River. This storage expansion project must be either due to Peavey having money to burn or a bumper crop on the way during this harvest season.

Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN, as seen from the air in 1958, on the cusp of being expanded from just over 10,000 seats to 42,000 seats as hope built that it would be home to a future American League baseball franchise and both Minneapolis and St. Paul made bids to the Washington Senators to relocate to the state of Minnesota.

Alary's Bikini Car Wash
from flickr user TommyJ
This bikini-clad lady at Alary's in St. Paul is having far too good of a time for washing a 90s-vintage Pontiac Sunfire. Also of note is the larger gentleman in the background with a hand on another bikini-clad lady who also has her hand on his knee.
Minnesota Gophers cheerleaders
from flickr user BraceHemi
Taken at TCF Bank Stadium on September 18, 2010 as the USC Trojans beat the Minnesota Gophers football team 32-21. At least the cheerleaders still have enthusiasm even if the football game is terrible week after week. If nothing else, go to watch the cheerleaders and check out the stadium.
The vanishing soybean crop

An International (1400 series) combine creeps across a soybean field along Interstate 94 in Minnesota leaving behing shorts stems and a mighty cloud of dust.
St. Wenceslaus in New Prague, MN
from flickr user Darkwulf
The Church of St. Wenceslaus in New Prague, MN stands proud over the small city in southern Scott County. This Catholic church, unlike many others nearby, will remain open under a reorganization plan announced Saturday by the Arch Diocese of St. Paul as it receives members from four New Prague area parishes which will be closing their doors.
Grand Marais

If my memory is good, this park bench sits at the edge of a waterfront park in downtown Grand Marias, MN on the shore of Lake Superior overlooking the lighthouse and breakwaters protecting the bay.
1876 Bridge
from flickr user dgphenix
Taken in rural Le Sueur county in south central Minnesota, this historic bridge surrounded by a plethora of fall colors resides in Lake Washington County Park. Le Sueur County Parks feature free admission and I would assume are rarely busy given their distant and off-the-beaten-path locations.
Jeffer's Pond Bridge, Prior Lake, MN
from AprilShowers Photography
I was always curious about this boardwalk of sorts at Jeffers Pond in Prior Lake, MN as I drove by it nearly every day for a few years. Now I know what a photographic gem I have been missing out on.
Double parked?
from flickr user boscbo
This photo showcases a rather stupid driver. At what point did the van's driver realize that she was going to crash not in to but on top of two parked cars?
The photographer says: Epic fail in the parking lot where I work. The black car it landed on had only one car payment left before being completely paid off. The lady driving the van was hauled away in handcuffs (so we've heard).
So far the rumors are:
a) Texting while driving
b) Sexting while driving
c) Black out
d) Diabetes
e) Woman drivers, no survivors
f) Drunk driving (at 9:45 in the morning)

Fall at Nerstrand
from flickr user theLuxuryAgent
Just a longe enough exposure to smooth the water pouring over the short waterfall combined with an intensely colorful tree-filled landscape at Nerstrand Woods State Park near Faribault, MN make this my favorite fall color in Minnesota photo thus far.

Brett Favre, pictured here after a game versus the San Francisco 49ers at the team's Candlestick Park, as New York Jets quarterback in 2008 returns to The Meadowlands to play his former in a Minnesota Vikings jersey team amid a national controversy in which Brett Favre is accused of texting sexually suggestive messages and photos of his penis to female members of the New York Jets staff. The jokes about his little bald quarterback are just waiting to be made.

Buckwheat, playing the didgeridoo on Marshall Mountain (1405 ft) with Lake Superior in the background. Yes, the sky and the water were really that blue.

Randy Moss a Viking again
from flickr user dirtyspeed
Randy Moss, whose career began with the Minnesota Vikings, was acquired today from the New England Patriots in a trade for a third round draft pick.
This photo of Moss performing a fake mooning of the Green Bay Packers crowd at Lambeau Field was taken after scoring a touchdown during a 2005 playoff game
Below is the video from FOX Television as commentator Joe Buck editorialized about how shameful Moss' touchdown celebration was.
Reflecting on autumn

A nearly flawless reflection of the stunning fall colors at Maplewood State Park reminds me to take some time this week and do some outdoor exploring with camera in hand.
Controlled Madness

The twisting plume of smoke from this stunt plane looks, for lack of a better phrase, cool as hell against the strikingly blue autumn sky.

LAKE CITY MN SAILBOATS
from flickr user rkehret42
October and sailing in Minnesota aren't typically associated with one another but that doesn't stop a couple intrepid sailing enthusiasts from taking to the Mississippi River waters and Lake Pepin in Lake City, MN for what could be the final days of the sailing season.
