Im spending the next two weeks and a half weeks in France, speaking the language, enjoying the food, and taking in the culture as much as I can. The world seems like it’s headed down some crazy path, but travel really makes me so aware of how small our world really is….and how connected we are.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This picture is going viral. From what I can tell it's a mix of street art and a pasted image. The kid with the globe is street art from Lyon, France and the other one is some Nazi. Anyone know more?

Headed back to frozen Minneapolis from the warmth and humidity in Miami. It’s always so peaceful looking out the window at the clouds and Earth below. #delta #clouds #windowseat #travel #sky

Back in 2018, I took this photo walking through Le Jardin des Tuileries toward Le Louvre in Paris. It was reposted by the Louvre and revived thousands and thousands of likes on their social media at the time. It was a huge boost to me as a photographer.

I love Puffins. This pair struck a pose for me on a trip to Vestmannaeyjar in Iceland back in 2022. I highly recommend a trip on the ferry for a visit. #iceland #Vestmannaeyjar #birds #puffins #wildlife #photography

I am a concert photographer, and have been documenting shows since early 2017. I've been a member of the @firstavenue.bsky.social photo team since mid-2018, and have covered a lot of amazing nights. I look forward to becoming a contributor to this community.
