            <title>ice climbing at gooseberry falls</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I shot ice climbing with a group from the University Minnesota Duluth last weekend. I have shot this before and always enjoy it. The sights and sounds of being below the frozen falls is awe-inspiring. I have been bringing wedding couple to the falls in the summer for 10 years. The rocks never change but the water is always different. Sometimes the falls are angry as a fresh rainfall pounds down the hillside into a powerful blur. Other times the falls are but a trickle and the place seems empty and serene. Winter can be beautiful. We forget that sometimes tucked inside our warm houses plugged into all our electronic distractions. Thanks for looking :)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">&nbsp; </span>I have been
fascinated with photography since high school when my father accepted a camera
as payment for an outstanding bill. Since then, I went onto technical college
where I learned photography was my calling. After my two-year degree there I
studied at Winona (MN) State University. In 1984 I earned a bachelors degree in
Photojournalism. For the next 15 years I worked as a photojournalist for
newspapers in Minnesota and Michigan. During those years I learned to shoot
under pressure in every imaginable situation including the Super Bowl and World
Series.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">&nbsp; </span>In 1999 I
moved to Duluth where I am the full-time photographer at the University of
Minnesota Duluth. At UMD, my duties include creating images for university
publications and web site as well as photography for 12 athletic teams.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">&nbsp; </span>I
have been photographing weddings since 1980. I fit my style to the couples
taste combining a photojournalist eye with traditional portraiture. All five
wedding packages are under $2,000 with each including a CD or prints.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">&nbsp; </span>My photos have
