The Twins are pretty interesting. Minneapolis is sort of the boisterous brother who gets all the attention, and St Paul the quiet brother whose also interesting, but goes a little less noticed. Everyone in the Twin Cities has a favorite (I think mine’s pretty apparent, although I enjoy the other tremendously as well). And it’s funny, because people rarely cross from one side to the other… somehow the 15 minute drive seems like an eternity in a city with traffic that’s pretty smooth most of the time. After shooting the Twin Cities for a couple years, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s REALLY hard to photograph St Paul, and I think that doesn’t really help it get noticed. There are few really outstanding angles on the city… But I’ve got some ideas I hope to execute soon that I hope will provide some original perspective. This shot was taken from the High Bridge across the Mississippi River.
