Color and Smoke III – Dance
“I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance” — e.e. cummings The third in a series, this is two different photographs combined into one image. I love how the two seem to be embracing, as if dancing. As before, the smoke was shot…… Continue reading Color and Smoke III – Dance
Color and Smoke II – RGB Triptych
“There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.” -Vincent van Gogh As promised, here is more smoke!

Lake Michigan Minimalist Triptych
It was going to happen. A day within the 365 days of my project where I don’t feel like going out to shoot nor do I feel too creative. Heck, it’s Monday after the holidays – I don’t feel like creating anything. But the project is a photo-a-day project, not a photo-on-the-days-I-feel-like-maybe-kinda-sorta-I-might-could-shoot-and-process-something project. So here…… Continue reading Lake Michigan Minimalist Triptych

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. I knew I wanted water and possibly clouds (although the clouds weren’t really moving fast enough) in the shot but other than that, I had know idea what I was going to get.…… Continue reading Lincoln Memorial Drive
Opposite – Word Play
“It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite” –Soren Kierkegaard When I shot the word “Open” I had no idea where the image was going to take me. But there was something about it that made me slow down, turn around, stop, and…… Continue reading Opposite – Word Play

I was totally alone in a small hilltop village square, cobblestones beneath my feet.The street lamps were bright and the storefronts were lit up. In the center of the square stood a small kiosk with a clock. It was still and quiet…… Continue reading Dreamland
