Clash of Styles
Of the thousands of CDs, vinyl records, cassettes (yes, cassettes), and digital files we have on/in shelves, boxes, cases, sleeves and hard drives, I believe perhaps Beethoven could have chosen a more complimentary shelf on which to sit. Then again, he was a sort of rebel in the classical music world. Hmmm. He probably would…… Continue reading Clash of Styles
Spiderman, Spiderman…
My son at the local playground. As I watched him climb, I couldn’t help but hum the tune: “Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can…” Day 71 of my 365 photo a day project.
Stone Circle
It was quiet. Only the sound of the river below and the occasional call of a cautious bird disturbed the silence. Through the damp, cold, winter fog, the narrow path led up to the top of the hill. In the clearing, sat a small stone circle. Reminiscent of an ancient meeting place, I sat alone,…… Continue reading Stone Circle
Native Grass
Native grass from a walk in the Milwaukee Rotary Centennial Arboretum in Riverside Park. The park is located on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, along the Milwaukee River. Day 69 of my 365 photo a day project.
The Starting Point
“The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods.” –Robin S. Sharma Riverside Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin on an overcast, damp, cool, December afternoon. The day was pretty drab and dreary, but the…… Continue reading The Starting Point
Leica Christmas
This is probably the closest I’ll come to owning a Leica camera – a nice glass ornament on our Christmas tree. And like the real Leica, the viewfinder works. And since it is December 6th, I’d like to say Happy St. Nicholas Day! I shot 15 frames to get this image, 5 sets of 3 bracketed…… Continue reading Leica Christmas
Boy with His Guitar
A boy and his (it’s really his daddy’s) old 3/4-sized gut string guitar. This was shot with my cell phone and processed in Photoshop using Topaz Labs plugins – Impression, Texture Effects, ReMask, and DeNoise. Day 66 of 365
Learning to Hop
My son is learning to jump and hop now. I wanted to capture this moment in a photo so I took three shots of him in action and then combined them into one image. The vintage polaroid/1970 photomat-look was added just because watching him grow up reminds my of my own childhood was back in the….well,…… Continue reading Learning to Hop
Open for Refreshments
We picked up our Christmas tree for the house today. It wasn’t quite a Charlie Brown tree, but it was probably one of the smallest they had. We went to a place in Riverwest off of Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee called Kellners Greenhouses. It doesn’t look like much from the street but you don’t see…… Continue reading Open for Refreshments
X Blocks
These are my son’s old alphabet stacking blocks. And he loves playing with them. Well, I have to admit, that I love playing with them too. Spelling out words, seeing how high I can stack them, building pyramids – all the things a middle aged man is supposed to do, right? No, you say? Well,…… Continue reading X Blocks
One Leaf – December 1st
One single Maple leaf on the driveway out behind our house. December 1st, 2015. Day 62 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
