“Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.” –Marilyn Ferguson When I look up at the top of the staircase that is my life’s journey, I see a dark figure looking down at me. That dark figure is me. It is the inner voice that says be afraid, quit, you…… Continue reading What is the Question

Exit To Somewhere
An exit is not just a way out, it is a way in – an entrance, if you will, to somewhere else. This sign is above a door in one of the buildings in the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 60 of my 365 photo a day project.
Apothecary Bottle and Clothespin
The dark damp and mostly forgotten corners of the basement of the two-flat in which we live is a gold mine for cool subjects to shoot. Today I found this tiny old apothecary bottle and a clothespin on top of an old dust-covered cabinet with the fading late afternoon sunlight trickling through the one grime…… Continue reading Apothecary Bottle and Clothespin
Holding On
“Don’t rush me just this once I want to make this moment last Slow down the pace, there’s no hurry I can’t let another pass me by again Let me be the one to say when I’ve had enough” –from the song “Hold On” by Santana This last little leaf was one of only a…… Continue reading Holding On
Days 56 & 57 of My 365 Project
Throughout this 365 project, I will certainly have days where I won’t be able to get a proper shot with my camera and I will need to grab whatever I can with my cell phone. The two following images are prime examples. Shot with my Droid in my in-laws basement, I processed both using Snapseed.…… Continue reading Days 56 & 57 of My 365 Project
Top of the Stairs
“And when it’s twelve a clock We climb the stair We never knock ‘Cause nobody’s there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue” –from the song “Me and My Shadow” by Al Jolson, Billy Rose, and Dave Dreyer The back stairs of our two-flat just before dusk. When it gets dark, these…… Continue reading Top of the Stairs
Through the Stained Glass
This stained glass window was shot from a small courtyard looking through a double door to the small warm intimate pub inside at the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I used my 50mm lens set at f/1.8 to get the nice bokeh, both inside and in the reflection on the glass of the first door.…… Continue reading Through the Stained Glass
Pabst Beer: Good Old Time Flavor
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy” –Benjamin Franklin A small basement event space in one of the many renovated buildings in the old Pabst brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These vintage beer posters have adorned this old wall for a very long time. This 20-shot panorama was taken during…… Continue reading Pabst Beer: Good Old Time Flavor
Star Wars Selfie
I love Star Wars. I was 9 years old when the original film was released in 1977. I had all the toys. (man, do I wish I had them now, in their original boxes. Cha-ching!) So yeah, I’m just a bit excited, delighted, overjoyed, and thrilled about the imminent release of “The Force Awakens”. I’m…… Continue reading Star Wars Selfie
Office Shelves
The clutter that is my office shelves. And believe it or not, this is clean. You should see it when it is really cluttered! Day 50 of my 365 photo a day project.
The Bathroom Sink Drain
A simple shot of the bathroom sink drain. I say simple, but you try to get a good shot of anything early in the morning, after a sleepless night, before you’ve showered, and most of all, before you’ve had your first cup of coffee! So yeah, it wasn’t so simple. Day 49 of my 365…… Continue reading The Bathroom Sink Drain
Hot Rod Racer
This is my mini 1/64th scale 1953 Buick Century vintage toy hot rod car. It was cold and west outside today, so I snapped a few shots of this baby and had a ton of fun processing the image. I started in Lightroom then to Photoshop for some focus stacking and a myriad of…… Continue reading Hot Rod Racer
