Heinz Yurt Maker
Honey Eater
It’s shaping up to be a busy photography exhibit autumn. The top portrait of Heinz Brummel, talented jeweler and yurt maker, is from the Ánam Cara (which translates as Soul Friend in Gaelic) series I produced in 2014 for my University of Minnesota Advanced Photography class. I posed Heinz for this shot which was recently selected to be in the Portraits Exhibition at the Minneapolis Photography Center, running from September 18 - November 1, 2015. Juried by David E. Little, the photography curator of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, I am honored that my work was selected as one of 72 from a group of nearly 500 entered.
The Honey Eater will appear in Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA) Fall Fine Art Show which also opens September 18th in the Solar Arts Building. The Honey Eater was captured buzzing at the Beez Kneez Booth during Seward Neighborhood’s Open Streets Fair on August 16th about to sample one of their tasty, locally products. Momentarily surprised by the click of my Nikon, he nevertheless turned back happily to his sweet sample on a spoon!
I continue to work to improve and refine my photography, beginning my third advanced photography course in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Minnesota next week. And, there are a few more shows I hope to be in this fall. If you are interested in purchasing any of my work, or hiring me for assignment, please contact me at insights@lifeintrans.com.
