About CJB
My name is Chris J. Benson and I live in Duluth, Minnesota with my family and enjoy spending time outdoors, fishing, hiking, biking, canoeing and camping. One of my greatest joys is sharing these adventures with my three young children and teaching them to value, respect and appreciate nature and all it has to offer. Life is an adventure, get outdoors and enjoy it!

Photography
Through Minnesota and its land of sky-tinted waters, I realized one of my true passions: exploring and enjoying nature. I have visited hundreds of different lakes, rivers, trails, and natural areas throughout Minnesota. Photography has given me the opportunity to capture and share these explorations.
The more time I spend out on our waters, trails, and natural areas, the more I appreciate how fortunate we are to have them.
