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

Lines on Paper

Lines on Paper

While trying (and failing) to create some sort of folded/creased sculptures, I happily discovered this composition of crossing lines on one of the discarded pieces of paper. Forgetting my feeble attempts at sculpture, I snapped a few shots of my “creation”.  And I have to say,  I really like this. It has a kind of minimalist,…… Continue reading Lines on Paper

“Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up” –Samuel Smiles Whenever I am out and about with my camera, I am always looking around. Up, down, left, right, front, behind.  You never know what a change in perspective will reveal.  That is especially true when inside old public buildings.  …… Continue reading Fixture – Look Up

Curved Lines 1

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.  I could spend hours walking around the interior and exterior of the structure and not even look at what is hanging on the walls.  This building is…… Continue reading Curved Lines 1

Frost

"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it." --John Burroughs Frosty ice crystals form on my office window on a very cold January winter morning in Milwaukee. They are beautiful for sure, but it has to be quite frigid for these to grow. Plus, your windows need to be a bit drafty. Oh well, the things we sacrifice for our art.

“Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.” –John Locke I love playing around with different ideas, techniques, and mediums to create art.  While photography is my main focus (pun intended!),  I also work with fractals (see here, here, and here) and 3D (here, here,…… Continue reading Flux Number 1

Dust Off the Clock
