Fargo, North Dakota

Photography

Joel Trygstad learned photography from his father and spent hundred of hours developing film and making prints the "old-fashioned way" in the darkroom.  Trained as a Medical Technician and later as an Electrical Engineer, photography has remained a passion throughout his 51 years.  His work is included in numerous private collections, including the superintendent of ISD #318.  Trygstad recently made the move to digital images and converted many of his old negatives to digital files.  All images in this current exhibition are printed with a Canon i9100 ink-jet printer on Canon Photo Paper Pro using Canon inks.  These are archival quality images that will not show noticeable fading over at least 20 years.
