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

Romanesque Wheel
Romanesque Wheel: “People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” –Elisabeth Kubler-Ross A close up of the huge stained glass circular window on the front of St. Roberts Catholic…… Continue reading Romanesque Wheel
Ethereal Flow
Ethereal Flow: “In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.” –Leonardo da Vinci I visit this small man-made waterfall in Lake Park on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, quite often. It doesn’t always have a full flow of…… Continue reading Ethereal Flow
Twisted
“Everything is nothing with a twist.” –Kurt Vonnegut Nothing. I walked for a couple of hours, camera in hand, and shot nothing worth processing – much less sharing with the world. Blah. Time to go home. Then on the way back, along the side of the street, I saw this twisty little vine holding on…… Continue reading Twisted
Out of Service
This fire hydrant, long out of service, is all that remains on the site of an industrial complex along the river in Milwaukee’s East Side neighborhood. The warehouse (see it here) that stood empty and decaying on this spot, was torn down last year and the land reclaimed as parkland. It is now part of…… Continue reading Out of Service
Stereo Realist
I thought it would be entertaining to capture this 60-year old camera, a David White Stereo Realist circa mid 1950s, with the combined technologies of my Nikon D700 digital camera (modern) and a homemade pinhole attachment (camera obscura, quite ancient). I love all of the flares created with the long exposure. This is a…… Continue reading Stereo Realist
Passageway
“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” -Pablo Picasso A study of shape, line, texture, and tone. Shot with my cell phone and processed in Photoshop. Day 35 of…… Continue reading Passageway
Bath Time
“Everything you can imagine is real.” –Pablo Picasso My son, lost in his imagination, creating new and impossibly fantastic realities, during bath time. Day 34 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop, many images from this project…… Continue reading Bath Time
Camera Obscura
I’ve been fascinated with pinhole (camera obscura) photography since I built my first pinhole camera out of an oatmeal container way back in high school. (For those of you keeping score, that was over 30 years ago.) There is something amazing about how such a tiny pinhole can capture such cool imagery. What is more…… Continue reading Camera Obscura
One Leaf, Two Leaf
I found this pair of leaves on a rain soaked park bench exactly this way – laying on one other in relative symmetry. While I did a lot of post-processing, Mother Nature certainly did quite a bit of the set up for me. I only had to slow down and look around to see it.…… Continue reading One Leaf, Two Leaf
The Last Flowers of Autumn
“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.” –Anne Frank Some of the last flowers of autumn cling to life as the death of the season falls around them. Shot on a walk through Riverside Park on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 30 of my 365 photo a day…… Continue reading The Last Flowers of Autumn
Ghost in the Machine
“Men have become the tools of their tools.” –Henry David Thoreau Ghost in the Machine. I have a pile of old electronic parts sitting in a box in my office – old RAM sticks, failed hard drives, broken headphones, parts of things long forgotten and more. Just as it was when I was a kid,…… Continue reading Ghost in the Machine
