Fresh View: Dani Ausen

Fresh View: Dani Ausen's Des Moines

Welcome to the first installment of an occasional Metromix series of "Fresh View" photo galleries  in which one of our local photographers introduces you to some of his or her favorite faces and places around central Iowa.

New hotspots as well as reliable hangouts with a long and storied past.

Local movers and shakers. Entrepreneurs, baristas, artists.

Literally a fresh and personal view: How this photographer  who might have even accosted you to snap your pic recently for Metromix at a local bar or major event  sees our city and its continuing cultural evolution.

Enjoy. First up to bat: Dani Ausen (@daniAWESOME).
