An architectural EKG on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I walk past this building on the way to the library from my home at least once a week. Yet in all that time, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed the angles of the roofline. And that just proves that you can still find very interesting…… Continue reading Architectural EKG

Mixed Signals
Which way should I go? I’m getting some mixed signals. Left or right? I don’t like either direction. Hmm, perhaps I’ll just stay put in the middle for a while. Day 316 of my 365 photo a day project. I shot this image of a bike/walking path from the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Monona Terrace in Madison,…… Continue reading Mixed Signals
The Chicago Elevated
It has been a couple of years since I’ve taken a ride on the Chicago Elevated. And a bit longer than that since I took this photo. (July, 2011) But tomorrow I will be back in old Chi-Town to meet some great friends and spend the entire day shooting the city. It is interesting that…… Continue reading The Chicago Elevated
Alley Gas Pump
It’s a bit strange to find a diesel gas pump sitting in an alley in a residential city neighborhood. It’s not something you see everyday for sure. This one, however, belongs to the fine folks of Milwaukee Fire Department Station 27 – home of Engine 27 and Ladder Truck 5. Situated near the Milwaukee River…… Continue reading Alley Gas Pump

Now, in the cell phone age, when I see one of these, I usually do a double take. It’s certainly a rare site and brings back a lot of…… Continue reading East Side Pay Phone
Brick and Peeling Paint
Today, I’m just going for a bit of texture. Ok, a lot of texture. This shot of brick and peeling paint was taken on a walk to the store. I’ve passed by this overhead door many times and have never stopped before. And now I think I’ll have to come back with my tripod and…… Continue reading Brick and Peeling Paint
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.
Fiery Autumn
Yes, it’s getting colder, the days are getting shorter, and summer is gone. But scenes like this make up for all that. Well, almost… 😉 Autumn in all of its fiery glory with the reds, oranges, yellows, and greens set against a bright blue fall sky. This shot was taken near the Urban Ecology Center along the…… Continue reading Fiery Autumn
