Curved Lines 1
Curved lines in the architecture of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The artwork in the museum is breathtaking, but the building itself is a work of art.

Brainstorm
It’s brainstorm time for new photo ideas and directions. After a full year of my photo a day project, I took a bit of time away from shooting. However, that does not mean I wasn’t creating.

Lite Brite
What happens when you introduce a 2 1/2 year old to a vintage Lite Brite? A joyful couple of hours of total fun. Add to that some really cool (and totally photographable) color abstracts. Introduced by Milton Bradley in 1967, this particular version is circa 1986. Now I just need to watch out for those long…… Continue reading Lite Brite
The Arch on the Edge of Forever
Everytime I walk through this arch in the park near our home on Milwaukee’s East Side, I think of an old TV show. And some of you may have guessed which one just from the title of this blog post. (Geeks.) The entrance to the Rotary Centennial Arboretum is quite magical, especially for being in the middle…… Continue reading The Arch on the Edge of Forever

Me and My Shadow
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
