The Wall

Paradise Springs Dam and Turbine House Ruins

Direction
“The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.” — Earl Nightingale This photograph was shot on the top floor of a parking garage near my home in Milwaukee.

Architectural EKG
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
Dried Tulip Blossom
I waited a bit too long to shoot this red tulip blossom. It sat on my desk and slowly dried out. And I have to say, I’m quite pleased about that. The texture and shape of the petals are much more interesting now than if I had shot the freshly cut flower. You gotta love…… Continue reading Dried Tulip Blossom
Paint Brush
A worn paint brush on a (mostly) white painted canvas. This image was inspired by the phrase “an expensive camera makes a great photograph just as much as a paintbrush makes a great painting.” I thought I’d use my expensive (to me) camera to photograph the brush in action. I’m still waiting for the masterpiece…… Continue reading Paint Brush
Curl
Only a few millimeters across, this is a tiny curl from the shoot of a pea pod. I love how something so small can be so truly wonderful and graceful. Note to self: Don’t forget to take notice of the small things – they are amazing! Looking for art for your home or office or…… Continue reading Curl
Spring Flower
“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.” — William Blake An arrangement of fallen petals from a simple Spring flower bouquet. I originally framed this as a much tighter shot. However, I really liked…… Continue reading Spring Flower
A Place to Sit 3

More often than not, work is salvation.” –Chuck Close Looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop? This image is available for printing and download. You can also check out the…… Continue reading A Place to Sit 3
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
