Chris Gibbs Photography

Took a short adventure to Crex Meadows State Wildlife Area to see what I could see. One of the things I enjoy most about photography is going places without a plan, letting things happen, and creating visions on the spot. When I arrived it was apparent that we’ve seen a very dry warm season. Pools were almost dry which meant less wildlife but the gray, overcast day meant for vibrant fall colors and creative slow shutter speeds.

I’ve often said I wish fall could last a few more months, it’s a time to enjoy everything outdoors in Minnesota, even one more ski.

Even though the islands of Saint Kitts (68 square miles) and Nevis (36 square miles) are relatively small, their landscapes are endless

You’re from Minnesota and you feel the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Playing chutes and ladders while hiking on the Bat Cave Trail on the island of St. Kitts. The trail was actually a deep, relatively dry, creek bed which included several small waterfalls. Old ropes and roots were the only way to get up and over.

Just some photos from my phone as we take in our daughters new home and her next adventure on being an incredible veterinarian.
Big camera photos will follow of our adventures on the island as it’s not used to the heat and humidity which requires constant attention to prevent condensation build up. Definitely was not in Minnesota.

Picture Rock at Crooked Lake” (also known as “Return of the Voyageur”) is a 1947 oil on canvas painting by Francis Lee Jaques. The painting was commissioned and placed for permanent preservation by the Minnesota Historical Society to celebrate and document the rugged beauty of the border lakes wilderness. Winter traveling companion, Jon Farchmin is very knowledgeable of the history of the BWCA and Quetico and always wanted to mimic a similar scene along the same picturesque rocks on Crooked Lake, but during winter. The photo represents those who traveled before us, whether by canoe or snowshoe.

When I decided to make photography a career, one of the things I had to do was build my portfolio. So one winter I spent several weeks traveling along the border of Minnesota between the Boundary Waters and Quetico. The goal was to capture all those places people may see during the warm season traveling by canoe, but are rarely seen during winter due to remoteness and weather. It is by far my favorite time of year to travel and I captured photos of areas probably never seen during this time of year.

TBT - 2013 just me wandering around the north shore taking pictures- Temperance River, Minnesota.

Organizing hard drives has me revisiting places and things. It’s amazing how many photos I have with potential.
