A pair of Converse Chuck Taylor (Chucks) athletic sneakers hanging from a power line over a street on the East Side of Milwaukee. My goal was to capture something outdoors and different than what I have done the last few days. Cue Monty Python, “And now for something completely different!” In framing this photograph, I…… Continue reading Chucks on a Wire

Stone Circle
It was quiet. Only the sound of the river below and the occasional call of a cautious bird disturbed the silence. Through the damp, cold, winter fog, the narrow path led up to the top of the hill.
