FILM PROJECT 2024 – January

Today I am kicking off my Film Project 2024. I can’t even tell you how excited I am to share the images & memories below. Before I do, I wanted to share just a little info and a few thoughts.

Spain Part 4 – Artist’s Rendition

OK….I said I was done. I said I was going to do my Spain coverage in 3 posts. I lied. While that was my intention, I took a look back through images and decided that there was another set of images to share. My duties on this trip were dad photo journalist. However, I did […]

Finding Words and Inspiration in this Strange Time

I have been silent here on the blog. My last post was from January, what now seems like years ago. Travel? Hanging out with friends? Walking a new city? Eating out? This past 5 or so weeks at home makes that trip feel like a distant memory. Times sure are different now. This “Shut In” […]

A Gnat Family Holiday Break – Costa Rica!

It’s 2020! I made it another year here at the ImagineGnat blog. Committing for another year. Before I get to both a look back as well a look forward, I wanted to share some pics from our recent trip to Costa Rica with my friends and family. So….Get ready. Heavy dosages of pictures of family […]

Ireland – The Postcard Series

I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I’ve been back from Ireland. While the two weeks seem like an eternity, I can close my eyes and immediately go back. It was an incredible trip. Filled with surprise and delight, some drama back home with our dog and the final challenge of getting home as […]

Iceland – First 10 Images

I have spent the last several hours processing images from my recent winter wonderland, Ring Road tour of Iceland I’ll be honest, I did not think I was going to get good images considering that on day two, my main camera decided to stop working (later resolved and story to come). But I got some […]

2018 Year in Review – A Year of Life Changes

As I prepare for a new year, I always take time to look back on my year. I like to look back and compare my images to the memories & thoughts I have in my head. This year I got pretty much what I expected, that being life changes. Lots of life changes. I am […]

A Blurry Start to 2018

Over the holidays I was on a roll with getting out, taking images and thinking. I was excited and going into the year with a loose plan and a bit more focus. But then the rat race started and that focus all came to a screeching halt. I felt like it was a re-entry to […]

I Shoot for Me

I ended 2017 the exact same way I started the year. I was out in the woods hiking in the snow and cold taking pictures and thinking. Just what I love to do. I am not going to make any huge new years resolutions this year. I will say that I have some themes in […]

Scenes from Taiwan

As I looked back at my posting schedule I see I missed posting about my recent trip to Taiwan. I LOVE going to Taiwan. I love the sensory overload for me. The sights. The sounds. The scents & smell. So much to take in. When I go to Taiwan, it is for work and I […]

New York City

Jen, the kids and I spent the week in New York City. What an experience. While the kids were there with Rosemount High School Marching Band to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Jen and I were there for moral support and to explore the city. It sure was strange being in a city […]

Gnat Image Dump

It’s been a bit. A long bit. I am ok though. Just busy. And I mean really busy. Life is good but at times a bit chaotic. But I am living life and living out my work hard play hard motto. I don’t have too many words right now. Trying to be a good father, […]

Imaginegnat’s Best Images of 2016

As we prepare for another new year, I took a moment to look back at my blog posts and my instagram feed to find my most popular images. This is a mix of my personal favorites as well as supporters favorites. It was quite a year. I know the year isn’t over yet, but I […]

An It’s Not Winter Yet Gravel Ride

Can’t believe I am writing this, but I got out on a gravel ride today. Usually at this time of year I am fat bike river rambling on snow and ice in the Minnesota River Valley. Not today. I woke up, saw the fog, had coffee and breakfast and hit the road with my Salsa […]
