Clementine

Clementine

A partially peeled Clementine orange over a textured teal background. And as I was shooting this, I was wondering exactly where this orange got it’s name. “It came to exist because of accidental hybridization.  The first fruits were discovered by Brother Clément Rodier (after whom the fruit was named) in the garden of his orphanage in…… Continue reading Clementine

Warp Speed

Warp speed

A shot of my son as he was running circles around the house, screaming and laughing.  Warp speed ahead! He certainly keeps me and my wife on our toes.  And in shape from chasing him in circles! Day 112 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home…… Continue reading Warp Speed

Smiling Block Bins

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.

Hands Drawing Hands

Hands Drawing Hands

Today, while staring at a blank sheet of paper on my desk, trying to write out a to-do list and thoughts about future photo shoots, I had the idea of trying to create something reminiscent of M.C. Escher’s work, “Drawing Hands”.  So much for the lists! It was a very simple setup.  Actually, it wasn’t…… Continue reading Hands Drawing Hands

Abandoned School House and a Comfy Chair

Abandoned School and Comfy Chair

I originally shot this old school house interior and broken chair back in March of 2012.   My wife and I were taking the backroads in northern Illinois somewhere near Rockford when we passed this old building.  Of course, I immediately hit the brakes and turned around and started shooting.  There was something about the…… Continue reading Abandoned School House and a Comfy Chair

Sweet Ride

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

Under the Tree

Under the Tree

“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.” –Roy L. Smith A garland of stars on our Christmas tree.  Oh, what fun this tree will see in the next few days. Day 84 of 365

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

Birthday hats all in a row, ready for the party to start.  A birthday party for a 2-year old is exhausting, but still a lot of fun! Day 82 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,…… Continue reading Happy Birthday

Abstract Lines

What is it?

Before I say where this was taken, I’d like to know what you think it is.  What does it look like to you?   Ok, do you have an idea? This was taken at Discovery World on the shore of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Oh, I’m not going to tell you what these…… Continue reading Abstract Lines

Stockings Hung By the Chimney

Stockings Hung by the Chimney with Care

’twasn’t quite the night before Christmas, but it was at night and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.  The only thing I wish was different – outside of it not being the night before Christmas and there was no St. Nick – is that we had a real wood-burning fireplace.  Oh well,…… Continue reading Stockings Hung By the Chimney

Clash of Styles

Clash of Styles

Of the thousands of CDs, vinyl records, cassettes (yes, cassettes), and digital files we have on/in shelves, boxes, cases, sleeves and hard drives, I believe perhaps Beethoven could have chosen a more complimentary shelf on which to sit.  Then again, he was a sort of rebel in the classical music world.  Hmmm.  He probably would…… Continue reading Clash of Styles
