Flat Man Around the Bend

Complete with light and shadows...

Via's Vintage Floating Mannequin

I don't remember exactly how this photo worked but I'll try and explain. This is a photo of an empty building with big window. The person walking was in front of me. The mannequin in the window is a reflection of what was behind me...



The mannequin appeared to be floating when I took this photo. That was the idea. Not sure it really worked or not.

Yesterday's Auto Reflections

Reflection photo taken in the window of Yesterday's Auto...



This photo has been desaturated a little. Yesterday's auto is located on the corner of 28th and Lyndale.

Blue Feathers In Puddle

Blue feathery necklace sits alone in a puddle while new condos fill the rest of the frame...



This photo has been flipped upside down because I prefer to view it that way. Click here to see more puddle shots of the same building (taken back in February).

Tuthill's Balloon Emporium

I found a monkey in window of Tuthill's Balloon Emporium...



Kind of looks like a collage with the reflections.

Green Army Man

Random! I found this green army man on a post along Hennepin...





This is the kind of thing I could photograph for hours without getting bored. Lucky for my life that's not what happened. I was satisfied after just a couple clicks.

These photos have been cropped a bit because I was shooting with my 17-55mm. I think a 100mm macro would have been ideal here. I don't own that lens but I will someday.

Roller Skates

Roller Skates in the window of Re-Cycle bike shop...

I've tried panning before and failed. This was my first successful motion pan. I'm very proud of this photo.
