Winter On The Outskirts

I'm ashamed to admit this. As a photographer it's pretty egregious.

This weekend I sat down at my computer and emptied the memory cards on my cameras for the first time in a while.

I mean QUITE a while... as in there were photos from LAST YEAR at this time on the one camera still.

But, I have to say, it was really an interesting feeling. Being so disconnected from the moment of creating the photographs let me view the photos through a different lens, with a different perspective.

And having the cards all cleared and formatted again was a revitalizing feeling of "Starting Fresh".

These are a few favorites from last winter that I made while exploring the outskirts of a few different small towns here in Northern Minnesota.
