Luverne, Minnesota held its 52nd annual Hot Dog Night on Thursday evening, where it's all about the dog. The festival included wiener dog races, a wiener dog beauty contest, a hot dog inspired art contest, music, and free hot dogs.

Photojournalist Jackson Forderer took alternating looks at the sights of the event from a traditional camera and from an iPhone.
