Anyone want to go for a spin? Normally, I would answer this question with a yes! However, at a neighborhood carnival, I would have to pass. I love watching the rides twist and turn with the flashing lights and glowing neon. But my inner ear, stomach, and I have an understanding – everything will be…… Continue reading Go For a Spin

A Night at the Carnival
We spent a day and a night at the carnival. And even at 48 years old, I feel like a kid, wide-eyed and excited about the rides, the food, the sights, sounds, and smells. Of course, now that I am an adult, I also get excited about the music and the, shall we say, refreshments.…… Continue reading A Night at the Carnival
The Milwaukee Public Library
I’ve been meaning to get down to shoot at the Central location of the Milwaukee Public Library for quite a long time. Today I finally did. And wow! It was mostly a scouting trip – I just brought my camera with my trusty 24-85 and shot hand-held – but a full day of shooting will be coming in…… Continue reading The Milwaukee Public Library
Sweet Ride

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
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
Through the Stained Glass
This stained glass window was shot from a small courtyard looking through a double door to the small warm intimate pub inside at the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I used my 50mm lens set at f/1.8 to get the nice bokeh, both inside and in the reflection on the glass of the first door.…… Continue reading Through the Stained Glass
