“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” –John Muir Shot on a quiet, albeit cold and very icy, walk through the St. Francis Seminary Woods in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan. Day 97 of my 365 photo-a-day project.

Lake Michigan Minimalist Triptych
It was going to happen. A day within the 365 days of my project where I don’t feel like going out to shoot nor do I feel too creative. Heck, it’s Monday after the holidays – I don’t feel like creating anything. But the project is a photo-a-day project, not a photo-on-the-days-I-feel-like-maybe-kinda-sorta-I-might-could-shoot-and-process-something project. So here…… Continue reading Lake Michigan Minimalist Triptych
3-Way Mirror Selfie
There is a cool wall of convex mirrors at Discovery World along the lakefront in Milwaukee. I was there with the family (we have an annual pass, SO worth it). Anyway, the mirror wall. I’d love to set up my camera with a tripod and get a cool HDR pano of the whole thing…… Continue reading 3-Way Mirror Selfie
Two Trees in the Snow
These two trees seem to be embracing or at least leaning on each other – like two old friends enjoying each other’s company. Shot in Lake Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 94 of my 365 Photo-a-day Project.
Blank Slate
As 2016 begins, we should all sit down, relax, and imagine what we can create in the coming months. After all, at this moment, the year is a blank slate. Focusing on what you want to achieve is the first step toward making it happen. And you’ll never get there if you never try. …… Continue reading Blank Slate
Frozen in Time
“Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.” –Langston Hughes A single Maple leaf buried in the ice and snow on a cold New Year’s Eve. Happy New Year everyone. May 2016 be filled with family, friends, laughter, and joy. Day 92 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
Mic Check 1 2 3
I recently got the Blue Yeti Microphone for Christmas. While I can’t claim to know a lot about the different microphones on the market, I can say this mic is awesome. I don’t have a radio voice ( a radio face, maybe.), but this mic makes me sound SO much better than the one built into my…… Continue reading Mic Check 1 2 3
64 Colors
Peach. Lavender. Thistle. Orange-Yellow. Or was it Yellow-Orange? Some very obvious names and some that made you scratch your head. I think it would have been great fun to be paid to name the colors of each crayon. Which was/is your favorite color? This shot came about after I spent the better part of the…… Continue reading 64 Colors
Sweet Ride
My son’s new wheels – a classic candy apple red Radio Flyer tricycle. What a sweet ride! He’s going to be the envy of all the kids in the neighborhood. Well, he will be, as soon as his legs are long enough to pedal the thing. Because of the layout of our living room, I…… Continue reading Sweet Ride
Flash Bulb
“At some point, a flash of sustained clarity reveals the difference between what someone would have you believe is true, and what you know from the depths of your own heart to the peaks of your soul to be true. What happens after that is up to you.” –Aberjhani A macro shot of a vintage…… Continue reading Flash Bulb
Full Moon Rising
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth” –Buddha A rare Christmas full moon rising behind bare trees on a cold and relatively clear night in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The first Christmas full moon since 1977 and the last until 2034. This single photograph was processed in Adobe Photoshop using multiple…… Continue reading Full Moon Rising
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! Not much time to shoot today, so I just snapped a quick shot of this red ornament on a tree in the front yard of my in-laws house. Day 86 of my 365 photo a day project. Shot on my cell phone and edited in Snapseed. If you are looking for art for your…… Continue reading Merry Christmas
