This is completely off topic, but if you're in Duluth, MN or nearby on August 9th, I'm doing a slideshow about my recent 45 day kayaking trip. Here's the elevator pitch:

--------------

During the spring and early summer of 2011, Bryan Hansel kayaked from Port Huron, Michigan to Grand Marais, Minnesota. His journey took 45 days, and he covered 800 miles. On the trip, he traversed the two largest Great Lakes, averaged 22 miles a day, paddled in waves taller than a refrigerator, visited Isle Royale and even ordered pizza delivered to his tent. Bryan will exhibit print and digital images from his experience and talk about his adventures. You don't want to miss this! Hansel's prints from the trek will also be on exhibit starting in early August!

Tuesday, August 9th at 7:00pm. FREE for members, $5 for non-members. Space is limited, contact http://www.duluthphotographyinstitute.com/ to RSVP.

I hung the display today, and I'll have to say that it's the first time that I've ever seen a kayak included in a photography exhibit. The display looks pretty cool if I do say so myself.
