I’ve always found what lurks between buildings more interesting than the buildings themselves. Pardon the composition, I just liked the colors.

I’m starting to document my neighborhood because I think it is odd. It’s a strange mix of historic, industrial, hippy, hipster, east African, wealthy (by the river) — and a little dumpy.

…and a new photo from the fortune cookie factory dumpster, since I had my camera with me today.

Yes, I was there. I’m still decompressing.

… but I got a few photo in today. Now with daylight savings time, I can work late and still have time to take some photos in the evening. Punk rock photo group, yeah!

Even though it is the first beautiful day of the season, I’m still listening to Leonard Cohen, Nebraska, Dear You… why? A little sad today. I need some spring music.

Team Open Circuit, after being awake and working for 30 hours. I was delirious from the red-eye flight from San Francisco, and anticipating my flight to Boston in a couple hours. Not my normal week.

Kettner made this. I love it!

I participated in a 24-hour web design challenge this past weekend. Our group from Twin Cities Open Circuit was paired with an excellent nonprofit, Doorstep Healthcare Services, which literally brings the medical professionals and equipment to the doorstep of many people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to it. It was a nerve-wracking experience trying to “make it work” in a mere 24 hours, but also completely amazing and fun. Thanks to my teammates Bryan, Chach, Crystal, Kristen, Craig, Thomas & Bretton for making it happen, Sierra Bravo for putting it on, and Shira for being such a great client to work with!

Here are some photos of the madness:
