Out of Service

This fire hydrant, long out of service, is all that remains on the site of an industrial complex along the river in Milwaukee’s East Side neighborhood.  The warehouse (see it here) that stood empty and decaying on this spot, was torn down last year and the land reclaimed as parkland.  It is now part of the Urban Ecology Center.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
