Photos by James and Nora Mirick January 21 - February 29
Jim Mirick and his daughter Nora are longtime residents of Chaska and have together been experimenting with photography for many years. They share a commitment to silver-based black-and-white images produced in a traditional wet darkroom, in spite of the accelerating shift to software-enhanced digital images.
Jim started photographing in high school, where his first darkroom was in the furnace room. His images are mainly of nature and the interplay of nature and old or abandoned human artifacts. He has recently begun experimenting with lens-less pinhole cameras. Jim is a technology executive in Minneapolis.
Nora also began in high school and continued through college. She enjoys capturing the linear shapes of things and enjoys the patterns that develop when seen from different perspectivies. Nora designs website-to-person interactions and also designs and produces a line of handbags.

Acrylics by Mike McKeever March 3 - April 4
I never cared about painting or wanted to be a painter. I had always wanted to be an architect, poet, or songwriter, and never had a drop of interest in painting until I actually did it. Therefore, I really have no influences in the field of art at all. My inspiration actually comes from sources such as Jim Morrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Axl Rose, Holden Caulfield, Billy the Kid, James Dean, Alexander the Great, Arthur Rimbaud, Friedrich Nietzsche, Robert Venturi, Michael Graves, Disney, Mythology, the Greek culture, the Egyptians, the Mayans, and many other ancient civilizations.

Photos by Todd Nordquist April 7 - May 8
I've had a camera in my hands for the better part of 25 years, photographying family, friends, nature, buildings, and whatever else catches my eye. I lead nature photography workshops, and my work has been exhibited around the Twin Cities and at a gallery in Santa Fe, NM. I focus (no pun intended) mostly on nature and wildlife these days. I find my time outdoors photographying nature relaxes and energizes me like nothing else. With mankind expanding further and wider into our natural areas, I feel it's important to tell nature's story. My hope is that my photographs can inspire others to explore, enjoy and protect the natural world around us all. My online gallery can be viewed at www.10photography.com.
