hi! I’m Mike Ahlgrim.

I like taking pictures of pretty places and writing tiny poems for them. there’s a soft wistfulness that lies between daydream and memory, and that’s what I’m usually drawn towards.

most days you can find me somewhere around Minneapolis. on this site, you can send me a note or see my upcoming event calendar

upcoming events

every once in a while I set up shop at a festival or art fair, selling prints of my landscape photographs. stop by and pick up a gift, enjoy the sights, or just say hi

no events currently planned

it felt sweet on my fingers

the seconds became as hours, but still she dared not blink

and it was just as I’d imagined

as if it were the most natural thing in the world

I would’ve stayed here

to receive what my last, desperate murmurs had wished for

I would’ve turned, and I would’ve joined you

a haze fell over my vision, like a childhood blanket

and then she left just as quickly

the same moon that shone for her

as if it could ever be that easy

he awoke again, slowly
