Top Photos of the Year
Dec 24 2008 — 2:01pm
The Minnesota Independent publishes their top photos of the past year, including this one, which has become somewhat iconic. There were a lot of great images that came out of Minnesota this year, including Norm Coleman getting the giant boot, tons of great photos from the RNC, the haunting images of Maxwell’s after the fire, and, although it is from 2007, I feel I must include the mug shot of the toe licker. What were some of your favorite images from the past year?

Like to take photos?

Well, it might be a tricky few weeks for you: At least three times in recent weeks, photographers say they’ve been stopped on public streets or sidewalks, told to stop taking pictures or produce identification or leave the area.

TCRazzi, “The Website where YOU are the Snaperazzi of the Twin Cities!” As far as I can tell, it is mostly photos of the same four or five drunk chicks, but maybe they just all look very similar to me. Some pictures not safe for work.

Save Polaroid
Mar 13 2008 — 2:00am
After the announcement that Polaroid plans to stop making film, local artist Sean Tubridy spearheaded a movement to save Polaroid. His own photographs make a very compelling case for the value of this instant film stock.
I'll have you know I was exhorting and, if pressed, I might admit to a bit of exulting. But I was certainly not exalting! How dare you impugn both ...
When a building burns in winter

The water from putting out the fire freezes, and the results are unexpectedly beautiful.
