Natural History of the Enigma Opening

I've had the interesting opportunity to work a little bit with artist Eduardo Kac over the course of his latest project, Natural History of the Enigma. His work, coined "transgenic art," is very interesting and thought-provoking, to say the least. As both an artist and a scientist, myself, I think the way he brings the two worlds together is fascinating. This latest project was unveiled with a reception at the Weisman Art Musem last Friday, and I'm only posting a few quick snapshots, as Eduardo may be using the other photos I shot for his own purposes. If you happen to be near the University of Minnesota campus, it's worthwhile to stop in to take a look at the exhibit. While it may be unconventional, it's great fodder for conversation!

True Love: Matthew + Tasha

Matt and Tasha had their engagement session at the end of March at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park. They live out of state, so we had to plan for a weekend when they'd be in town and hope for the best for weather, and we got so lucky -- it was one of the first beautiful days of spring! This of course meant that everyone else in town came out to the park as well, but we made it work. Matt and Tasha are so much fun, and obviously so in love. It was so great watching Matt be a goofball, just to make Tasha laugh -- I love it! Tasha's sister came along, too, and was such a good sport, following us around and holding extra layers of clothing that myself and Tasha shed -- thank you! The big day is in August, and I can't wait -- I know it is going to be such a great time!

Thanks for a great day, Matt and Tasha! Looking forward to shooting The Perfect Blend!

Parkwood Knolls Egg Hunt

I was invited to shoot photos at the Parkwood Knolls community egg hunt at Walnut Ridge park yesterday, and it was a blast! There were around 40 to 50 kids with their families who participated in the festivities. The event kicked off with a cupcake walk (the cupcakes smelled SO sugary and delicious!), which was followed by the egg hunt. Now, I'm more inclined to call it an egg dash, because the eggs weren't so much hidden as distributed amongst the wide open area of what was a hockey rink, but it was still great fun to watch! Following the dash for the eggs, there was a bunny hop race -- probably the best fodder for great photos!

For those of you whom were there, it was a pleasure meeting you! The remaining photos from the day are available via the link below. Enjoy!
