“I’m woven in a fantasy, I can’t believe the things I see. The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall. And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost” –from The Wall by Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh of Kansas. I know it’s crazy, but I…… Continue reading The Wall

Passions Collide – Abstract 5
This abstract photography-based digital artwork, combines two of my artistic passions – 3D animation and photography. The base color scheme is from a photograph of an old worn out table that had several coats of mismatched paint on it in addition to several glued-on pieces of newsprint and other paper. Then the color information from…… Continue reading Passions Collide – Abstract 5
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
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
Brainstorm
It’s brainstorm time for new photo ideas and directions. After a full year of my photo a day project, I took a bit of time away from shooting. However, that does not mean I wasn’t creating. Or at least, trying to be creative. Sometimes, when the photographic creative juices are not flowing, I turn…… Continue reading Brainstorm
Black Leaves
I don’t have much to say about this image other than I love the texture on the leaves. As I’ve said before, any type of leaf fascinates me. This particular tree is growing in my in-laws backyard and I’ve had multiple opportunities to capture something. Yet the “keeper” photo has always eluded me. My…… Continue reading Black Leaves
Veil of Memory
As I inch ever closer to a half century on this Earth, I’m reminded more and more how fragile memory can be. Whether it is forgetting where I put my keys or trying to think of what’s-his-name that sat next to me in home room back in grade school, the older I get the more…… Continue reading Veil of Memory
Concrete and the Landing
A beam of light marches down across a concrete wall and falls on a metal staircase landing. The newly renovated Milwaukee Art Museum is a treasure trove of photographable textures, materials, shapes, and details. I’ve spent quite a bit of time there recently (see here and here), and I still feel like I haven’t…… Continue reading Concrete and the Landing
Every Day Dilemma
The dilemma of a life as a freelance photographer and 3D/2D motion graphics artist is you must find a way to balance family time, client needs, personal projects, relaxation time, and the mundane but necessary tasks of running a business. It’s enough to drive you crazy at times – being at the center of a…… Continue reading Every Day Dilemma
Metal Bench Against Concrete Squares
A metal bench against a wall of concrete squares taken at the Columbia St. Mary’s hospital on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I really liked the grid pattern of the wall broken only by this chair. The repeating pattern of the wall really makes it stand out. There shouldn’t be any questions about what the…… Continue reading Metal Bench Against Concrete Squares
Tangled and Twisted
Being a daddy, a husband, a photographer, and a freelance 3D/2D animator keeps me quite busy these days. It also keeps my mind racing at 100mph with my thoughts tangled and twisted. I’m not saying having an overactive brain is necessarily a bad thing. I’m just saying it’s the way I feel some days. So my…… Continue reading Tangled and Twisted
Paper Spiral
This shot of a small spiral piece of paper was inspired, in part, by an incident in our home this morning. I’ll get to that in a moment. For the image, I wanted to create something white on white with only light and the corresponding shadows along with texture defining the subject. Shot macro with my…… Continue reading Paper Spiral
