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

Wow. This is what draws me out into the serenity of the skyway edges, beyond the boistering lunch crowds. This is antiseptic at first glance, but beyond its purity lies a simplicity, a breathing space. Like the first moment out of a dream, when the awful fullness of life is just a sketch.
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.
