Lookin’ for good Photogs
I’m looking for a Duluth-area photographer that wants to go to the Dominican Republic around February 2012. I’m gettin’ hitched down there and need someone who’s willing to eat and drink all they want for a few days and snap some photos of my family, friends, myself and my beautiful wife-to-be. The only qualifications you need are to have experience in professional photography and to know how to keep up with some fun people that want to get down in paradise. Comment to leave info to set up a meeting i.e. phone number, e-mail, website to your portfolio.
DPI Photography Contest!
Open to everyone; over $1,500 in prizes!
Enter the Duluth Photography Institute‘s first annual 2011 Photography Contest. Five categories. Early bird registration discount ends soon.
Homegrown Banners
It’s that time of year again, the time when we magically change the secret folder that makes random silly pictures appear at the top of the PDD page. We’re looking for your Homegrown photos! So follow the same guidelines for submitting photos, but send us Homegrown-related images. You know, people drinking beer, playing rawknroll, hanging out, scans of your long-form birth certificate, and so on. We’ll rotate homegrown images during next week’s festivities.

The answer is YES. (more…)
Where in Duluth?
This one is probably pretty easy, but bonus if you know what it’s for. (I don’t, so you could probably make something up.)
Submit your NCAA Championship Photos!

Where can this Big Dipper be found in Duluth? (Offer void to those who saw my Nerd Nite presentation – you already had your chance to guess.)
This was difficult at Nerd Nite, so I’ll post more pictures if nobody gets it.
And no, the answer isn’t Sacred Heart at 7:30PM on April 9.
Chief Buffalo, Point of Rocks and “The Mayor of Duluth”
I was reading this month’s new FDL Band Newspaper (PDF) and about halfway through I found a breezy little history piece on Chief Buffalo: Hero of the Lake Superior Ojibwe by historian Christine Carlson. The article was already interesting, then I notice mention of Duluth’s Point of Rocks which has been discussed extensively here on PDD. It sounds like the area surrounding Point of Rocks was selected by Chief Buffalo as part of one of the articles of the Treaty of 1854. The area would have also included Wisconsin Point and much of what is now considered Downtown Duluth and West End/Lincoln Park. (more…)

Not only cool that it’s there, but damn if it isn’t interactive (after the jump)!
If someone has shared this before, I apologize … I’m kinda geeked up about it right now.
The View From Your Duluth Window
Andrew Sullivan’s blog features a contest called “The View From Your Window” where people submit views, as it were, from their windows, and people have to guess where in the world it is. This week features a view familiar to Duluthians. He quotes my entry but I didn’t win.
Where in Duluth?
This should be quite easy considering its location. I still find it interesting though.
Photos Wanted!
LakeVoice News is looking for recent photos from around the Duluth area that we can showcase in our weekly news publication. They can be of anyone or anything, but all we ask is that it is from the area. We also ask that you write a short caption for the photo that explains where the picture was taken, who is in the picture, what is going on in the picture and who took the photo.
To submit your photos you can email them to lakevoicenews @ gmail.com and an editor will get back to you as soon as possible if we decide to publish it.
See it. Hear it. Read it.
