Ryan Tischer's evocative photography

by Travis Ryder
The December 9 edition of Culturology features an interview with Northland-area photographer Ryan Tischer.  Justin Cook caught up with him at the recent Gifts Worth Giving event.

Tischer finds inspiration in the woods and waters of his home region, but also shows proficiency capturing the magic of the American Southwest.  "When you sit and you watch a sunset over the ocean, or over Lake Superior, there's that emotion," Tischer says.  "There's that feeling that you get deep inside, and it's really hard to convey that in words.  So what I always try to do is capture the emotional essence of the scene.  I don't try and just capture things literally, what the camera says is there, because that's never going to be what you feel."  Tischer hosts an open studio event this weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 5 at 315 North Lake Avenue, Apartment 403, in Duluth.  The interview will be posted to the Culturology page and ampers.org.

Morgan's new photos, Jug Band Boogie

by Travis Ryder

Vivienne Morgan is from England, but she has lived in the US for over thirty years. Her latest photography project explores the line between visitor and native resident through images of her home area of Beltrami County with a similar region in England called Cumbria.

See her work at http://lakestolakes.com and hear from her this morning on KAXE. Find the story of her work in progress archived at kaxe.org and ampers.org.

I was at the Effie Jug Band Boogie a couple weekends ago, and my girlfriend snapped these shots of the Procrastinators out of the Twin Ports area.

Hear about the Boogie, and from a member of this group, this morning on the Morning Show or pull up my story at KAXE.org and ampers.org.
