Project Overview
Doug Ohman uses slides of his photography to virtually take the audience on trips around Minnesota, highlighting specific subjects as he does so. One of the libraries chose his program “Minnesota Byways” and the other three chose “Libraries of Minnesota.” The photographs depicted libraries of course, and also treasured historic buildings that are being lost to the ravages of time.
