		<title>Latest Photo &#8211; Poseidon&#8217;s Molar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather we have had in Northern MN lately has not been conducive to my winter shooting style.

		<description><![CDATA[There is a brief window, just before sunrise and just after sunset where city lights and ambient light mix together to make colorful and interesting images.

		<title>2011 &#8211; A Photographic Year in Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2011 was an amazing year for me. I had three trip opportunities arise and rather than worry that I didn&#8217;t have the money or that I could use the money for other things, like paying off bills sooner, I seized the opportunities. This year &#8220;tomorrow isn&#8217;t promised&#8221; really hit home when several people I knew [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embracing Bad Weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often times we see a bad weather system moving in, get bummed and sit inside wishing for better photographic conditions. More often than not, bad weather actually translates into great photo opportunities. This image was captured on a cloudy day. A 9 stop filter and polarizing filter were used to get a long exposure.
