In late November of 2011, I worked a brief gig in Rancho Cucamonga, California. I always thought 'Cucamonga' was just a joke on the old Jack Benny show, but there actually is such a place and it's pretty interesting.

In the Summer of 2011, I spent several weeks in Beverly Hills and managed to see quite a bit of the City of Lost Angels and the surrounding environs.

For many years, the Original Farmers Market (no apostrophe) stood at the corner of Third and Fairfax in Beverly Hills. Recently, an outdoor market called The Grove opened up nearby and is popular among the employees of CBS Television City.

At the corner of Hollywood and Highland sits one of the most famous theaters in the world and the Walk of Fame is just outside.

My hotel was within walking distance of the PDC and Sunset Boulevard, and I took many walking tours of the neighborhood.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has one of the biggest collections of art in the world. The grounds are also very beautiful and sit adjacent to the La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Museum.

In the Spring of 2011, I made another trip to Sin City and got a nice collection of images. Remember, whatever happens in Vegas...can usually be cured with penicillin or a good lawyer!

Every year, millions of Minnesotans make their pilgrimage to the Twin Cities to partake of Deep-Fried Fun on a Stick. You'll gopher it!

I had a gig at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C. in July of 2010. In spite of a limited amount of time, I managed to see quite a bit of the nation's capital and took a lot of pictures.

I took enough pictures in the National Air and Space Museum alone to justify a separate picture gallery. Blast off!

Some orphan pictures I gathered over the years that didn't fit into any other photo gallery.

Combine several pictures of local parks, add some really cool graphics filters, and voilà, instant picture gallery.

Every year, Macy's in downtown Minneapolis hosts a flower show in their 8th floor auditorium. This year's theme is 'Spring is in the Air'.

In October 2009, I took a trip with a friend to Gooseberry Falls on the North Shore to photograph the changing colors. I've also included a few images of Duluth.

In December of 2008, a couple of close friends invited me to stay at their time-share on the Hawai'ian island of Kaua'i. These pictures give a good idea of what the Kaua'i landscape looks like.

Poi'pu Beach is a resort area on the south-eastern shore of Kaua'i. These pictures were taken around the Marriott Waiohai and Sheraton resorts and on Po'ipu Beach itself.

We took lots of day trips during our vacation on Kaua'i and there was plenty of interesting stuff to photograph along the way.

Hawai'i is famous for having indigenous species of plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.

The Na Pali Coast on the north-western side of Kaua'i is world famous for it's rugged landscape and gnarly surf.

I went scuba diving six times in Hawai'i and managed to get some usable pictures out of three disposable underwater cameras.

Every April and October, the artist studios in Lowertown, Saint Paul, open their doors to the public. These pictures were taken during the Art Crawl from October 10-12, 2008.

In July of 2008, I took a short trip to Seattle to work on an art project. Foregoing sleep when I wasn't working, I wandered the streets instead and snapped a few pictures along the way.

In March of 2008, I had a kinetic-art exhibition in Las Vegas. During my stay, I took many pictures of what must be the most over-the-top city in the world.

In the Spring of 2007, I traveled to Belgium to set up dominoes for a TV commercial. Along the way, I had a chance to take a few pictures of this picturesque country.

The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley has the biggest collection of animals in Minnesota. Photos were taken on an unseasonably warm November day in late 2006.

Como Park is one of my favorite spots in the Twin Cities, and there's plenty to photograph there. This set of pictures include the new addition to the McNeely Conservatory and the refurbished amusement park.

And still another collection of pictures taken hither and yon.

I recently spent a month in the town of New York Mills in central Minnesota. I was on an artistic retreat for my kinetic art, but also had the opportunity to take many pictures during my visit.

Another nice collection of images taken around the Twin Cities.

A series of recursive photographs within photographs, Metaphoto #1, is a radical new idea in photographic slideshows.
