Footloose and in focus on the Minneapolis skyways. All photos taken on or between skyways on my daily meander.

I am so charmed by the way the city insists on framing or emphasizing the lone figure. Here the parking lot provides a cartoon ladder for the woman in red jacket and red bag. As though she climbed out of some impossible plane into the three dimensions of isolation stretched out before her.
There are 8 miles of skyway used by tens of thousands of people a day. There is a horizontal grandeur here, and a lesson in self-organization for those who wonder what the public/private partnerships of the future look and work like. If you see me wandering around, say Hi. I might take your picture.
And, for the record, I will probably cheerfully give you permission to use these photos for non-commercial purposes if you ask, and give credit. Try it...or buy it if you want. But let me know.
