PRIDE in Minneapolis: 2024

To be honest, my name records for the remaining photos of SHOT SHOW are completely hosed.  So, time to move on and leave about 25 photos for whom I have no good record of who they are!  

Welcome to PRIDE 2024.  


I try to go early in the morning when the weather is cool and people are just setting up their displays/booths.  They are generally more open to chatting and having their photo taken.


So, meet Nell!


Nell represented Tryst Trigger Artworks.  She is a full time painter for the last 5 yrs now (4 when this image was taken).  And she is the artist in residence of the Pride Foundation.


It was lovely chatting with you Nell!  Thank you for taking the time!

Back to the 2024 SHOT SHOW and Two People from Minnesota!

Meet Shane.



And meet Jim.


BoreSmith is a company located in MN that makes cleaning patches for gun barrels.   They are noted for using a 100% flannel fabric in a triangle cut.   It cleans better than square or round patches.   

I will be checking them out!  

Lovely meeting some folks near my corner of the world!
