Happy Flying
Happy Flying! This little guy sure loves to soar. You can see joy in his eyes and the smile on his face. This photo was created as part of a new service I’m offering called Capturing Keepsakes. Think of it as portraits for a most cherished child’s toy or prized family heirloom. Head on…… Continue reading Happy Flying
The Lonely Robot Photographer
The lonely robot photographer sits under a street light waiting for the sun to rise over the horizon. This is another in a series of fun shots of the little robot that travels with me on my photographic journeys. You could call him my mascot or perhaps my good luck charm. The little guy is also…… Continue reading The Lonely Robot Photographer
Smiling Block Bins
The smiling block bins. All lined up nicely, content, full, happy. Take a good look. In our house, with a toddler running around, this is a very rare occurrence. I had to document that it actually does happen on occasion. Day 110 of 365.
64 Colors
Peach. Lavender. Thistle. Orange-Yellow. Or was it Yellow-Orange? Some very obvious names and some that made you scratch your head. I think it would have been great fun to be paid to name the colors of each crayon. Which was/is your favorite color? This shot came about after I spent the better part of the…… Continue reading 64 Colors
Sweet Ride
My son’s new wheels – a classic candy apple red Radio Flyer tricycle. What a sweet ride! He’s going to be the envy of all the kids in the neighborhood. Well, he will be, as soon as his legs are long enough to pedal the thing. Because of the layout of our living room, I…… Continue reading Sweet Ride

If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop,…… Continue reading Happy Birthday
Boy with His Guitar
A boy and his (it’s really his daddy’s) old 3/4-sized gut string guitar. This was shot with my cell phone and processed in Photoshop using Topaz Labs plugins – Impression, Texture Effects, ReMask, and DeNoise. Day 66 of 365
Learning to Hop
My son is learning to jump and hop now. I wanted to capture this moment in a photo so I took three shots of him in action and then combined them into one image. The vintage polaroid/1970 photomat-look was added just because watching him grow up reminds my of my own childhood was back in the….well,…… Continue reading Learning to Hop
Open for Refreshments
We picked up our Christmas tree for the house today. It wasn’t quite a Charlie Brown tree, but it was probably one of the smallest they had. We went to a place in Riverwest off of Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee called Kellners Greenhouses. It doesn’t look like much from the street but you don’t see…… Continue reading Open for Refreshments
X Blocks
These are my son’s old alphabet stacking blocks. And he loves playing with them. Well, I have to admit, that I love playing with them too. Spelling out words, seeing how high I can stack them, building pyramids – all the things a middle aged man is supposed to do, right? No, you say? Well,…… Continue reading X Blocks
A Quiet Moment
A quiet moment with my son, albeit brief, at the Milwaukee Public Library East Branch. I’m amazed he sat still even this long. He is a bundle of energy and never really stops moving! Day 11 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home or office or…… Continue reading A Quiet Moment
