Gold Medal Flour

One of the dwindling number of classic neon signs along the Mississippi riverfront in Minneapolis -- yet the sign itself isn't actually a classic. Part of the old milling district, the Gold Medal Flour building was constructed around 1906. The original sign was lit by standard lightbulbs and the neon version was installed (I believe) around 1998 as part of the Mill City Museum which now owns the site. The sign is spectacular at night, but in a way I like this picture better than a standard neon beauty shot. The yellow cast comes from the window I shot through when I was at a show in the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie Theater.

Printing Process

Prints up to 13" on the short side are handled in-house on an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 with UltraChrome K3 inks. They are hand-signed and carefully inspected before shipping to ensure the best possible quality.

Prints larger than 13" on the short side are handled by a professional photo lab and personally inspected before shipping.

Matted prints (for framing) are also available, please email for more information or to request a quote. The copyright message and/or watermark on any photos that appear on this site does not appear on purchased prints or licensed images.

Color Matching

I make every effort to ensure that the print you receive matches what you see on your screen. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of color management and differences between computer monitors, subtle variances are possible. Typically the print version is of much higher quality.
