children's Hospital

This is the new emergency wing of Children’s hospital.  The hospital campus has the newest and most impressive looking buildings in the area.  I don’t hink the recession hurt it at all.  This is part of the complex I took the pictures of last week.  [New ER]

Children's Hospital

The hospital campus keeps growing.  These buildings are along Grand Avenue near Smith and they were completed last year.  the older building can be seen in the background just under the cathedral.

Robert Street Bridge

If you are a regular here at St. Paul photos you have seen this shot several times but it isn’t the same picture it is one that I keep taking.   I have shared this location with others.  It is just off of Livingston Ave. near Filmore Street which is what Water street becomes East of Wabasha.  There are some office buildings and behind them is this wonderful park with benches and walkways.  I like to bike along the river to Raspberry Island and then onto the other parks along the river.  It has been awhile since I have photographed this at night . . . stay tuned.  The bridge to the right is the Robert Street bridge.

ghost signs on 4th street

Coca Cola is still around but the other companies who had signs on this building are gone.  There are ghost signs like these all over down town.

Downtown Minneapolis

I have been very busy but I always take my camera with . . if I remember so I can get a couple of shots if the opportunity presents.  I got this when I went to meet a client in Minneapolis.  I need to go downtown and shoot at night.  I have not done that in a long time.

St. Paul Minnesota

The red “1″ blinks on and off.  It is wrong to take a picture at night with the light off.  I have taken a few but I would never post them.

Needs work

I took this with my phone last night while I was walking the dog.  The house is being renovated and much work is needed.  It is photogenic in it’s current state and I may go back with my camera for some more shots.  I took a picture of the front about a month ago.

Cathedral in St. Paul

A friend asked what is meant by converging verticals.  I post this picture as an example.  If I drew a line from the steeples and kept going up eventually they would meet or converge.  I think it is good enough to say the picture is crooked.  This is what happens when a side angle lens is used and it isn’t kept level.   Photographs can be straightened when they are processed but this one is two messed up to bother.

It would look even better if I had taken the photo later in the day.
