Art-A-Whirl 2011

It’s hard to believe that Art-A-Whirl was three weeks ago (and that I haven’t posted anything since January!). For those of you not in Minneapolis, Art-A-Whirl is a three day open studio event and claims to be the largest open studio and gallery tour in the United States. Thanks to everyone who came out to visit, purchase prints and check out my work. It was a great time!

I wanted to capture the flow of people coming in and out of my studio, so I made this time-lapse, using a Canon Timer Remote Controller (TC-80N3). I took one photo every 10 seconds for about 8 hours. If I remember correctly, there are over 2,800 images.

Ila Handbags

A few months ago I had the privilege of shooting in the studio all day for Ila Handbags, a Minneapolis company whose products are all handmade, using new and vintage fabrics.

This weekend we’re doing another shoot and I remembered that I never blogged any of the photos from the last one, so here they are!

More photos and some behind the scenes shots after the jump.

Test shoot with Maria

Maria flew in from Los Angeles to visit her family and called me to do a shoot while she was here. I’m glad she did! After a few hours in the studio, we got some shots that we’re both excited about.

The Peter O’Tooles

Catching up on posting some stuff to the blog. I took these a couple of months ago for The Peter O’Tooles. Coco and Bunny are always so fun to work with and I knew we’d get some cool shots with a clean, simple setup.
