German photographer Andy Scholz visited the Bakken Oil Fields in western North Dakota last year. While there, he created a series of photographs that capture the ever-changing, transient communities fueled by the oil boom. He documented Man Camps, hotels, temporary housing, and the strain on the infrastructure. His work will be on display at the Rourke Art Museum in Moorhead, with an opening reception and artist talk this weekend. Museum admission is $3 for students and seniors, $5 for adults, and free for children 12 and under.
