Meet Linda


"Hey, Camera Lady! Camera Lady!"  A  voice belonging to Linda called to me after she saw me taking photos of art work in a Mayo Clinic building.  Linda is a retired language arts teacher who has been coming to this medical facility in Rochester every six months for 20 years from her home, which now is in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  Her silver necklace is inscribed with one word-LOVE- which I believe describes Linda's approach to life.  She and I had a great chat, and she told me about the art tour of Mayo. It has a fantastic collection of art that is probably one of the best kept secrets in Minnesota.

  6. You meet the most interesting people. What's your technique for asking them if you can post their photo on your blog? That was my biggest drawback in a 100 Strangers project (which I think I only completed 28) which I attempted back in 2010/2011.
