If you are interested in photography and the natural world, the photo symposium on Saturday June 11th at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is for you. The MLA always puts together great events and this one should be really fantastic. It features world-renowned conservation photographer Daniel Beltra (the shot of the polar bear is one of his).
Paring music with your still images or video can be tricky. You would hate to have something distract from the viewing experience, and not everyone will like your musical tastes. Everyone has probably entered a website and had some horrible music start blaring immediately. In the age of limited attention spans, and limited time, inevitably some folks will just click on to the next website instead of finding the mute button. I am a huge music fan, however, so I love it when I run across examples of music that work really well with the visuals. Here is collaboration between photographer Sara Jorde and musician Evan Murnane (of “We Valedictorians” and “Total Babe”). Cool photography, cool original music, really cool together.

Mpls photographer, Adam Hester, had three images in the show that were really hauntingly beautiful. My bad iPhone pic doesn’t do it justice, but here is one of them.

This portrait of Leonid Hurwicz, nobel prize winner for economics, is one of the most beautiful portraits that I have seen in a while. It was shot by Minneapolis photographer Raoul Benavides.
