High Falls, Tettegouche State Park, Silver Bay, MN
The 70-foot High Falls of the Baptism River is the highest waterfall entirely within the state of Minnesota, although not higher than the High Falls of the Pigeon River that share its falls with Ontario. The falls are located within Tettegouche State Park. Tettegouche Camp, the renovated remains of four hike-in cabins built a century ago for the Canadian Alger-Smith Lumber Co, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Places That I Love
For the vast majority of my career, my own photography was an afterthought. Very soon after I started working professionally as a photojournalist, I became a full-time academic and for more than 40 years, my students came first. We traveled the world together, but my role was that of an editor and mentor, not a photographer. Rarely would I have time for my own work. Of course, that was of my choosing and it was a gift, not a burden.
Toward the end of my career, my teaching and advising focus shifted from undergraduate to graduate students, who were allowed to travel without a faculty escort. This allowed me time for some personal projects and assignments, and time to travel with family and friends, something I still do today.
This gallery has no thematic or geographic parameters, it’s just a grouping of photographs from places that I love, places that evoke special memories or moments that I enjoyed experiencing.
