Reflection, meet shadow. Here is another shot of my son from the Milwaukee Art Museum this Labor Day weekend. Up on the third floor of the new wing, there are these great big windows overlooking the lake and the rest of the museum. One of his favorite places there, he loves to look out the…… Continue reading Me and My Shadow

Superman and the Big Hill
To get to the best picnic spot in the park, little superman decided to walk up the big hill instead of fly. Of course, he also decided to roll down. Of all the shots I took over the Labor Day weekend, this is one of my favorites. My son, in his superman sweatshirt with…… Continue reading Superman and the Big Hill
Milwaukee Art Museum
I spent part of Saturday at the fabulous Milwaukee Art Museum with my son. While most of our time was spend going and up and down (and up and down) stairs and looking out the windows at the spider webs and the lake, I did have a few moments to take in some of…… Continue reading Milwaukee Art Museum
Four Small Containers of Paint
These small containers of washable paint belong to my son. I noticed the complementary colors when I was cleaning his painting supplies and I thought, ‘I have to shoot those!’ Of course, I dropped everything and took the plastic buckets to my camera stand. Priorities, you know… To make the saturated colors really stand out in the…… Continue reading Four Small Containers of Paint
Our Little Cookie Monster
This is our beautiful little cookie monster. As I start the countdown of the last 30 days of my 365 project, I want to revisit some themes from the past year. Of course, my son has been a big part of the challenge. His imagination, the way he sees the world, and his joy in discovering…everything, has…… Continue reading Our Little Cookie Monster
Half My Marbles
I’ve lost half my marbles. (Only half?) Because I’m going crazy trying to come up with new ideas for this project. However, the end is near. In just 30 days, I will finish the 365 photo a day project. So I will push through and endeavor to create 30 more photographs in the next month. …… Continue reading Half My Marbles
Contemplating Impermanence
“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”…… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence
The Switch
“People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they’re all asleep at the switch.” –Florence King The only chance you have to ever get what you want, what you dream about, is to do something, anything. Because just thinking about it will get…… Continue reading The Switch
Eternally Spinning
“To believe in luck, you must believe that the universe is a roulette wheel and that instead of paying out to us what we have earned, it pays out only what it wishes. But it is not a spinning wheel of chance, it is a work of art, complete and framed by eternity.” –from “Innocence”…… Continue reading Eternally Spinning
Peeling Back the Layers
“I wondered to what extent people remained the same as they’d been when very young; if one peeled back the layers of living one would come to know the child.” –Dick Francis With my son as my guide, I’m working toward peeling back the strata of my own life to reveal the wide-eyed exploring curious child I…… Continue reading Peeling Back the Layers
Stencil Alphabet Fun
While working the second day of the rummage and art sale at our house, I decided to have a little stencil alphabet fun. Because a day (or two!) of standing around trying to sell your used junk can be very tiring! I took a ton of shots of lots and lots of things, but like in most cases, simple is…… Continue reading Stencil Alphabet Fun
Fierce Calm
Long exposures of large fierce waves can produce a surprisingly ethereal and calm image. The waves you don’t see in this image were around 4-6 feet tall. Quite tall for Lake Michigan, but what you’d expect after a thunderstorm. And since this is yet another horizon shot for me, I wanted to do something different with the…… Continue reading Fierce Calm
