“Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I’m not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me…… Continue reading Worry – Self-Portrait

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
Flash Bulb
“At some point, a flash of sustained clarity reveals the difference between what someone would have you believe is true, and what you know from the depths of your own heart to the peaks of your soul to be true. What happens after that is up to you.” –Aberjhani A macro shot of a vintage…… Continue reading Flash Bulb
Leica Christmas
This is probably the closest I’ll come to owning a Leica camera – a nice glass ornament on our Christmas tree. And like the real Leica, the viewfinder works. And since it is December 6th, I’d like to say Happy St. Nicholas Day! I shot 15 frames to get this image, 5 sets of 3 bracketed…… Continue reading Leica Christmas
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

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
Twisted Stump
To me, the tops of pumpkins have always looked like the stumps of large twisted and gnarled trees, long ago removed by the village axman. And that just adds to the scary and creepy aspect of a well-carved jack-o-lantern at Halloween. With this shot, I wanted to capture that “tree stump” aspect of the autumn…… Continue reading Twisted Stump
Always Watching
“Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.” –William Shakespeare I’m always watching, seeing, and learning. Always. Day 21 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, this image and most of the others from this…… Continue reading Always Watching
Feather
“You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.” –Samuel Rutherford This image started as macro shot of a tiny feather on a plain white background. It is amazing how something so small and insignificant can be so powerful. Powerful enough, in sufficient numbers, to give a creature the ability…… Continue reading Feather
