new blog (oh, and love the desk)

I started a new blog! I feel confident in my ability to continually produce content in this subject area: my misunderstanding of all things Minnesotan.

Update: About the Photograph
Many readers have commented on the stunning image by Nicole Bengiveno in this post, so we asked her to explain how she got the shot. Her answer:

It’s part of the fun for me — figuring out ways to shoot something different.
