Fishing with friends is a real treat. I have spent most of the last five years on Driftless Area creeks alone. Today I had the pleasure of fishing Iowa with good friend and creek walker James Reidy, Jr. We started on a paw. Neither of us had our day licenses to fish Iowa and we [...]


Old School.

Understanding the artistic components to photography additionalizes a photographers ability to be creative in processing an image. I saw a self-promoter taking it on about his Holga cameras and how great his images were. I have news for you, anything your holga can do, I can do with my software. Here is an image of [...]


Urban Adventure.

I am suffering from nature deficiency. I have completed finals and thus far maintained my 4.0 GPA. I have not been in the bush since the Canadian Road trip Mikey and I took a few weekends back. All story told the urban climbing adventures ended nearly as soon as they begun. I drew first and [...]


Photoshopping Images.

One of my friends was having a bit of difficulty tweaking an image for his upcoming book. He wanted the glare to come down a bit so I took on the action and came up with this. I did not use Photoshop, as most of you amateur photographers may have guessed however I used Adobe’s [...]

Today I had the pleasure of joining Riverway on a water journey through Winona County. We started the day with a video at the Whitewater State Park interpretive center. The video, presented by park naturalist Dave Palmquist, talked about the change that ensued after the flood of August 2007. We investigated what we had learned [...]


Fall…

Pay back is a fish for me at this point in my life. I am buried deep into primary research that consists of things that I love. In August I instructed university students in fly fishing history, ethics, and casting. I have traveled to Lake Superior’s North Shore seeking Pink Salmon and Longnose Suckers. I [...]

Clear Creek

My friend Chad at Clear Creek asked me for a few photos from New Zealand to consider for their annual catalog. I bet he is just super bored at work today and needs some new pictures to look at. Either way here they are.

The paddle out was more than the distance we paddled to the camp site. We stayed up too late last night and it was too early to paddle. It was a sunny day. We made it to the take out. We took time for lunch at a waterfall that leaked out of a crag. This [...]

Canoeing in August. Our friend Ass is back from her stint in the Peace Corp in French Guinea, that Africa for those who don’t know. So with two dogs and two boats we headed to the North Branch Root River to paddle to Highway 16. Hatch didn’t ride in the boat the first 10 miles. [...]

Tonight Mikey and I sat at the Levee in a spot other than our usual spot because a half a dozen people had our spot. the word must’ve got out that there are fish there. I wonder if they were disappointed to only catch Drum and Redhorse. Mikey an I would’ve loved to catch something [...]
