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.

Think about what you are trying to create – what is your goal, what are you trying to say, what is the subject – and then remove/minimize all other distractions, either in camera or in processing.

Ice Crossing
One of the benefits (can you call it that?) of the old, relatively un-insulated windows in our house is that when it gets really cold outside, in the morning, we get this really cool window ice frost.

“Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.” –Langston Hughes A single Maple leaf buried in the ice and snow on a cold New Year’s Eve. Happy New Year everyone. May 2016 be filled with family, friends, laughter, and joy. Day 92 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
Dreamland
I had a recurring dream when I was a kid. It was night. I was totally alone in a small hilltop village square, cobblestones beneath my feet.The street lamps were bright and the storefronts were lit up. In the center of the square stood a small kiosk with a clock. It was still and quiet…… Continue reading Dreamland
