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

The Upstairs, Downstairs of Public Art
Some enterprising artist is working at beauty in this alley off Nicollet Mall. In the world of Skyway Public Art, this is the "downstairs" and you need to go down and see it. I can't tell you where it is, exactly, but I can give you a clue: James and Mary Laurie.
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.
