We started late morning around 10ish and started walking.  I don't know how many blocks we covered (not too many) and after a couple of hours we were ready for lunch.  We stopped at a local eatery and had some gourmet hot dogs.  Something we don't get at home. 2016-01-09-MSP-137Max Stansell Photography

It was a very over cast day perfect for Black and White photography but as my friend Kevin would say its always a good time for B/W photography.  So after lunch we went out again but rain was forecast for later in the day so we tried not to lollygag too much.  We went to the capital building and worked our way back to the parking deck where we parked.  We decided to go to the local camera shop and of course camera nuts like us we had a ball.  I actually bought a few things.

Keep Shooting!
