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

Boy with His Guitar
A boy and his (it’s really his daddy’s) old 3/4-sized gut string guitar. This was shot with my cell phone and processed in Photoshop using Topaz Labs plugins – Impression, Texture Effects, ReMask, and DeNoise. Day 66 of 365
Learning to Hop
My son is learning to jump and hop now. I wanted to capture this moment in a photo so I took three shots of him in action and then combined them into one image. The vintage polaroid/1970 photomat-look was added just because watching him grow up reminds my of my own childhood was back in the….well,…… Continue reading Learning to Hop
Open for Refreshments
We picked up our Christmas tree for the house today. It wasn’t quite a Charlie Brown tree, but it was probably one of the smallest they had. We went to a place in Riverwest off of Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee called Kellners Greenhouses. It doesn’t look like much from the street but you don’t see…… Continue reading Open for Refreshments
One Leaf – December 1st
One single Maple leaf on the driveway out behind our house. December 1st, 2015. Day 62 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
Days 56 & 57 of My 365 Project
Throughout this 365 project, I will certainly have days where I won’t be able to get a proper shot with my camera and I will need to grab whatever I can with my cell phone. The two following images are prime examples. Shot with my Droid in my in-laws basement, I processed both using Snapseed.…… Continue reading Days 56 & 57 of My 365 Project
Star Wars Selfie
I love Star Wars. I was 9 years old when the original film was released in 1977. I had all the toys. (man, do I wish I had them now, in their original boxes. Cha-ching!) So yeah, I’m just a bit excited, delighted, overjoyed, and thrilled about the imminent release of “The Force Awakens”. I’m…… Continue reading Star Wars Selfie
Office Shelves
The clutter that is my office shelves. And believe it or not, this is clean. You should see it when it is really cluttered! Day 50 of my 365 photo a day project.
The Bathroom Sink Drain
A simple shot of the bathroom sink drain. I say simple, but you try to get a good shot of anything early in the morning, after a sleepless night, before you’ve showered, and most of all, before you’ve had your first cup of coffee! So yeah, it wasn’t so simple. Day 49 of my 365…… Continue reading The Bathroom Sink Drain
Bath Time II
It’s bath time and the look says it all. “Really, Dad? Another photo?” Big sigh. Yep! Another one. Smile! Come on, give Daddy a smile! “Not gonna happen, Pops. Just shoot the dang photo already.” Day 41 of my 365 photo a day project.
Stereo Realist
I thought it would be entertaining to capture this 60-year old camera, a David White Stereo Realist circa mid 1950s, with the combined technologies of my Nikon D700 digital camera (modern) and a homemade pinhole attachment (camera obscura, quite ancient). I love all of the flares created with the long exposure. This is a…… Continue reading Stereo Realist
Passageway
“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” -Pablo Picasso A study of shape, line, texture, and tone. Shot with my cell phone and processed in Photoshop. Day 35 of…… Continue reading Passageway
