Friday evening I went into downtown MPLS to photograph the skyline and Stone Arch Bridge in the evening. This is something I've been wanting to do for a little while and had the opportunity to go with the Hutchinson Photography Club. We met up with a couple members of the Crosstown Camera Club from MPLS. They showed us all the good places in St. Anthony Falls. </div>

Definitely will be going back soon. It's so beautiful. Being in that area is so invigorating. I absolutely love it. </div>

Started with a trip to a <a href="http://saintsbaseball.com/home" target="_blank">St. Paul Saints</a> game Friday night. Then ran my first 5k on Sunday, the <a href="http://fifteens5k.com/" target="_blank">Fifteen's 5k</a>. It was organized by relief pitcher, Glen Perkins, of the Minnesota Twins. Got to meet Joe Mauer and the Twins bullpen afterwards. Took some photos and got some autographs. After the 5k we headed to the ballgame against the Tampa Bay Rays. Even though we lost, it was a grand ol' time.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />

Photo overload. Still working on sorting, editing, and posting. I have over 250 photos. Ridiculous. Trying to get as many finished up before the Photo Club meeting on Tuesday. So hang in there.<br />

I have been inspired to find a huge lot now, find a bunch of awesome stuff then just spend my days planning, styling, and photographing.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-18478277795969751862012-07-15T16:31:00.001-05:002012-07-15T16:31:24.356-05:00Behind the Lens: Andrea Pt. 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some more photos from yesterday's workshop. The circus set up was my absolute favorite area. There was a lot of awesome stuff back there that I didn't get the chance to look at and explore. But the potential was great. Definitely going to have to think of some other crazy stuff to do in that area.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-29607218957074584202012-07-14T21:37:00.000-05:002012-07-14T21:37:08.990-05:00Behind the Lens: Andrea Pt. 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I spent the afternoon at an antique yard in Lakeville with the Hutchinson Photography Club. We were doing a portrait workshop with Country Gallery. This lovely lady was one of our models for the afternoon. She was so wonderful!<br />
<br />
I got back and went straight to my computer to begin editing them. I was so excited I just had to start sharing them tonight.<br />
<br />
This is Part 1 of several posts in the next few days. There are so many great shots, it's hard to chose! That means it was a successful afternoon, right?<br />
<br />
Any photographers in the MPLS/St. Paul area, head over to Hot Sam's Antiques. You won't regret it.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-86670048154356660302012-06-19T21:28:00.001-05:002012-06-19T21:28:18.409-05:00Behind the Lens: Old School American Muscle<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love old school American muscle cars. This past weekend there were a few in Hutch for the Water Carnival. As wonderful and awesome looking that the brand new cars off the lot look, I don't think you can get much better than the look from the late 60's / early 70's.<br />

Somewhere around March/April I decided to start making better life habits. Exercising and eating better were on the very top of that list.<br />
<br />
Back when I had my old job in TRF, my dear friend Amy, always was trying to convince me to go out running with her. I had a hard time taking her up on that offer because I just didn't like to run. But when I decided to change a few things, I picked up my running shoes that were gathering dust in my closet and gave it a go. And since then I've discovered, that while I may not be the fastest out there and not able to run 10 miles (yet), I actually do like it. I have a tendency to like instant (or relatively quick) gratification and this is exercising my patience for results.<br />
<br />
Running has now pretty much become a daily habit. And in weeks like this one, after a nice tumble outside of work that tweaked an ankle and scraped a knee raw (also smashing my phone screen into a million pieces) not going out has me a bit stir crazy. I've discovered that running is good "me" time. When the shoes go on and the headphone start blaring music, my brain pretty much shuts off. I usually go out with some life issue I want to work out, and after, I realize I never thought about it once but the problem seems less stressful and crushing.<br />
<br />
So, today I did something that for me is a bit bold. I signed up for my first 5K run! Yeah, 3.1 miles probably doesn't seem like much, but you got to start somewhere right? I know I'm pretty comfortable already with that distance so this seemed like a good way to venture into the world of races/marathons.<br />

The <a href="http://www.fifteens5k.com/#!home" target="_blank">Fifteen's 5K</a> combines my absolute LOVE for baseball, my new found like/love for running, and my desire to help the world. Twins relief pitcher, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/glen_perkins" target="_blank">Glen Perkins</a> and his wife <a href="http://runlikeam0ther.com/" target="_blank">Alisha</a>, have teamed up with the <a href="http://twinsbaseball.com/" target="_blank">Minnesota Twins</a> and <a href="https://www.tcmevents.org/events/fifteens_5k/" target="_blank">Twin Cities in Motion</a> to raise money for <a href="http://www.cff.org/" target="_blank">The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation</a>. When I discovered this race I just had a gut feeling that I found it because I was supposed to be a part of it. I mean, how could I not? Hanging out with my favorite team/players, running for a good cause, and a ball game - sounds like a pretty great day to me :)<br />
<br />
If you don't have anything going on Sunday, August 12th, consider running too!<br />
<br />
Have any advice for a beginning runner? Tips for recovering after an injury? I'd love to hear them.<br />

I am looking for a Minnesota farm to that wouldn't mind being photographed. If you have fields, tractors, a good ol' barn, and a few animals, I would love to come spend an afternoon with you this summer/fall.<br />
<br />
I will even give you a copy of the photos I take :)<br />

Yesterday I took advantage of some blue skies, dirt roads and an extra day off to break out the camera. When you get far enough into the countryside you can stand in the middle of a dirt road, turn 360 degrees and see nothing but fields and farms. It's a pretty neat sight.<br />
<br />
Being in the middle of nowhere is calming for the soul. It's nice not to feel the hustle and bustle that even a small town can hold.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-2972987534760392002012-05-25T19:13:00.002-05:002012-05-25T22:19:02.446-05:00Every Day Life Goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>From now on I will:</b></span></i><br />
<br />
Laugh a bit louder<br />
Smile a bit more<br />
Work a lil harder<br />
Be curiouser and curiouser<br />
Think outside the box<br />
Be confident<br />
Listen a bit closer<br />
Always say please and thank you<br />
Stand a bit taller<br />
Pay attention<br />
Complain less<br />
Dance a bit crazier<br />
Give 110% to everything<br />
Stop over thinking and just do<br />
Have a little more faith<br />
Take a few more risks<br />
Focus on the positive<br />
Run longer<br />
Be happy with what I have<br />
Love more<br />
Never give up<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">And above all - Simply enjoy the moment</span></b></i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I have joined the Instagram bandwage with my new iPhone I treated myself to this weekend. I no longer have what we refer to at work as "a dumb phone."</span></div>
<br />
I think I can count on less than one hand the moments when I know I have truly been living in the moment. Rarely do I recognize it at the time. This weekend was one of them.<br />
<br />
I had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in a good friend's wedding this past weekend. It was full of cowboy boots, line dancing, country music, and two-stepping. I met some pretty awesome people who know how to get down and have a good time. Even the clean up after everybody left was made into a party. We spent many hours dancing, laughing, taking photos and making some great memories.<br />
<br />
The Saturday of the wedding I had no worries about my 6 1/2 - 7 hour drive back to reality the next day. I had no worries about the pile of work that would be waiting for me on Monday morning and all the projects that needed to be finished. No worries of how my paycheck I had just gotten the day before would disappear quickly into my gas tank.<br />
<br />
Of course, it wasn't until that 6 1/2 hour drive that I realized all of this - when I put on some good ol' country tunes and watched the Minnesota farmland blow by me for 330 miles. I had a smile that just wouldn't seem to budge...<br />
<br />

I got to go to the Twins vs. Blue Jays game on Friday night. After a 2 hour rain delay, we beat them 7-6. By the last couple innings it was almost a run for run game. Thankfully we were able to hold them off! We had some pretty fantastic seats too. It was the closest I've sat to the field in a game yet.<br />

A bit ambitious? Perhaps. It would be even better to follow the Twins around for a summer and watch them play at each field.<br />
<br />
I better figure out a way to get rich...Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-88833741351091612422012-04-17T20:06:00.000-05:002012-04-17T20:06:31.923-05:00Favorite Places: Target Field<br />

I adore baseball. Even though I do miss the Metrodome, Target Field is pretty dang awesome with its great view of the MPLS skyline. Marlon tweeted me this great time-lapse taken last week. Can't wait to hit up a game in May.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-26697211412902868542012-04-15T19:25:00.001-05:002012-04-15T19:25:31.044-05:00Behind the Lens: Into the Wild (Sort Of)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>One:</b> Wow, it's been along time since I've posted anything on here. Oops.<br />
<br />
<b>Two:</b> Minnesota weather is the craziest! Tornadoes, snow, rain, and wind. All in one state. 25 degree temperature difference between the north and south sides of the Twin Cities. <br />
<br />
<b>Three:</b> Yesterday I found a little lake about 5 minutes from Hutch that had a little patch of woods. And by little I mean absolutely tiny. But it was enough to kind of feel like the middle of nowhere. For a moment it was like being back up in Bemidji exploring areas by the lake. It was great to photograph a different atmosphere than farmland or city life. <br />

I made this springtime wreath a month or two ago when I decided we weren't really going to have a winter. Super simple and easy project to dress up any bland white door.<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>styrofoam ring</li>
<li>yarn</li>
<li>ribbon</li>
<li>fun flower</li>
<li>glue</li>
</ul>
Start off by tying your yarn around the styrofoam ring to attach it. Glue the yarn down so it doesn't move around. Then just start wrapping and wrapping the yarn around until the ring is completely covered. Make sure you're pulling it so it's snug as you go. Once your right is covered tie off and glue down the ending knot. I made this part the top of mine. Cut the stem off of your flower and glue it to the wreath. Cut a piece of ribbon to a desired length and attach it to the yarn covered ring. Glue it so the ribbon doesn't shift around. Hang it! <br />
<br />
I caught my craft store at a good time when the yarn and flower was on sale. I think it cost me around $10 total with plenty of yarn to spare.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-12586610249025126412012-03-21T22:02:00.000-05:002012-03-21T22:02:18.159-05:00A Lovely Little Thought<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have started to suck at this blogging thing. I'm not quite sure what's been distracting me. Possibly it's that I've started reading books again. <span style="font-size: x-small;">My TV hasn't even been on for more than a couple hours in the last week and a half. Usually its there for random noise.</span> Maybe it's that I've picked up running every day as a new hobby. Or it could be after spending 8 hours sitting front of a computer a day, my brain just can't handle it after hours anymore. <br />

Meh, whatever the reason, my apologies. Hopefully I can get my act together. <br />

Photo overload. Finally had the chance to upload and edit photos that have been sitting on my camera for a week. My nose was busy buried in The Hunger Games. <br />
<br />
Last weekend when I was in the Cities, I went to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden again with some friends. It was so gorgeous out, much better than the first time where it was freezing. Loving the t-shirt weather we are having in mid-March.Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17622705332270938835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4237459812253749960.post-44629077728191474472012-03-11T20:43:00.001-05:002012-03-11T22:33:56.104-05:00addicted.This weekend I joined The Hunger Games bandwagon. When I was in the Cities, my friends <a href="http://marlonsdesignlife.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Marlon</a> and Alyssa had the trilogy on their bookshelf and after hearing some people talking about them at work earlier in the week I decided to give them a shot. I've already blown through the first book and am halfway through the second.<br />

Between cleaning, errands, and going for a run I've been parked on my couch engulfed in the books. It may be kind of strange but when my brain really gets into a book, I kind of lose the outside world. Everything I read turns into a live action movie reel in my head. Before I know it I'm 100 pages in and time has flown by. I also have a really bad habit when I find a book that really interests me after those first 100 pages I skip ahead and read the last page. Then, especially if its a type of cliffhanger, I have an even harder time putting it down and focusing on something else. Any one else out there have weird habits when they read good books?<br />

During my run tonight I was kind of thinking about the Game is very much like modern day reality tv. How people are chosen to compete for a prize/glory and then one by one picked off until there's last woman/man standing. How we, like the crazy citizens, of the Capitol get so much joy and entertainment out of other people's embarrassment and failure. How after a new episode airs we chat with our friends about, pick at the contestents/"stars", and make bets as to know how long they will last. Then I got disgusted and confused as to how something like that can be entertaining, thrilling to watch, and addictive. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Apologies if you watch reality tv, not meant to pick at people.)</span></i> I won't lie, I've watched my share of reality tv, but I pick my brain afterwards to try and understand why I did. <br />
<br />
It's been a pleasant day without the tv turned on even once. <br />

<br />
Last week <a href="http://www.doomtree.net/dessa/" target="_blank">Dessa</a> of <a href="http://www.doomtree.net/" target="_blank">Doomtree</a> gave a presentation at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum in MPLS. I listened to it last night and just had to share it. She is a very inspiring and driven person. Her presentation was on the rap and hip-hop community and it's social/moral issues of oppressing groups of people with the language and lyrics. It made me want to go through my iTunes and delete all the mainstream trash in it no matter how catchy it may be.<br />
<br />
The biggest thing that hit home to me was the portion about where you come from affecting where you end up in life. Dessa talked about these artists making it sound like just because you come from 'the hood' or whatever that means your life is going to end up a certain way and you're going to act a certain way. The stereotypes of growing up in a certain neighborhood. When in fact, there are plenty of people who are growing up in unfortunate situations who are turning their life around and making something positive of themselves.<br />
<br />
Why is it okay for songs to degrade and humiliate people with horrible language and words? Why do we listen and endorse it?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"If the choices are: feel discomfort for sharing
well-considered, fundamentally held moral views, or feel discomfort for
NOT having shared well-considered, fundamentally held moral views, than I
choose the former discomfort."</i></b></div>
</blockquote>
Props to you, Dessa, for speaking your mind and being an inspiring person.<br />

I thought it was interesting and wanted to share it. Somebody find me an old Polaroid...<br />

In the 1900's, Henri Cartier-Bresson, a famous French photographer, coined the term "the decisive moment." Bresson, known for his candid photography, describes this as capturing a split second of a significant event on film. Thanks to inventor of instant film, Edwin Land, countless generations have been able to capture their own decisive moments and view them first hand. <br />
<br />
In 1926, after completing his freshman year at Harvard, Land took time off to work on polarization research. He successfully created a prototype of a synthetic polarizer. Polarizing materials screen light waves by blocking out light waves that produce glare while allowing other light waves to pass through. In the 1930's, land and George Wheelwright III, a Harvard physics professor, went into business together. They crated various products from non-glare headlights to polarized sunglasses, and even polarized filters for Kodak. These filters, which were later called Polarioids, contained a pieces of polarizing material. They allowed images sot in bright conditions to have more contrast and less glare. Land's most notable accomplishment was crating instant film and the cameras that could produce them.<br />

<br />
On December 25, 1943, Land was inspired by his daughter, Jennifer, to create instant film. On that Christmas Day, Jennifer asked her parents to see photographs they took that morning. Five years later, Polaroid's first camera, the Model 95, was released. It was named 95 because that was the original price tag. Polaroids became an instant success, selling out as soon as they hit store shelves. <br />
<br />
Over the years, Polaroid has released several different camera models such as the Swinger, the SX-70, the Spectra and the Joycam. Various types of Polaroid film also exist: early renderings measured 4"x5", but the standard image size came to be 3"x4". Polaroids were unique in their square image format and white border.<br />

<br />
A box of Polaroid film is approximately the same size as a box of crayons, each pack generally containing eight exposures. The sheets of film are loaded into the camera, and the chemicals used to produce the image are stored in the border of the film. As you take the photo, the film sheet moves through the camera and then ejects. Once the film is exposed to light, a chemical reaction occurs and the image is crated. In Polaroid's early days, only sepia film was available. At the time, a roll of film cost $1.75. It wasn't until the 1950's that black and white film because available, followed by color film in 1963.<br />
<br />
In 1998, Polaroid stopped producing instant film. Fujifilm still makes their version of instant film, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fuji-Instax-200-Instant-Camera/dp/B0000C76XK" target="_blank">Instax</a>. Things like <a href="http://instagr.am/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> are bringing back the Polaroid look in digital form.<br />
