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

Grand manners
John the doorman at Grand Hotel on 2nd Ave flashes a welcoming smile. How could you tell he is a doorman? Is it the hat, the vest, or the flair on his vest? Or maybe the whistle. Or that he is holding the door, which no one does anymore?
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.
