Abstract Lines
Before I say where this was taken, I’d like to know what you think it is. What does it look like to you? Ok, do you have an idea? This was taken at Discovery World on the shore of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Oh, I’m not going to tell you what these…… Continue reading Abstract Lines
Lincoln Memorial Drive
This shot came about more from wanting to test my new ICE 10-stop neutral density filter, rather than from a creative idea.

Clash of Styles

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.
