Framed II – Helping Hand

A few helping hands holding up a wooden frame with a dusty piece of glass inside and me standing behind. Day 145 of 365 Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com

“It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.’ ” –Sam Levenson Five helping hands (all my own) holding an empty wooden picture frame with yours truly standing behind…… Continue reading Framed II – Helping Hand

Right or Left Hands?

Is this two different hands? Or are the both the same? Do you see left hands or right hands? This is my commentary on the state of our political system here in the United States. The two main political parties, at least on the national level, for the most part, are the same. In general,…… Continue reading Right or Left Hands?

Two Wild and Crazy Guys

This is what a tired son with a cold and a tired Dad (both with very little sleep) do when left to their own devices.  Two wild and crazy guys – with apologies to Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. Shot with my Droid cell phone. Day 133 of my 365 photo a day project. If…… Continue reading Two Wild and Crazy Guys

Voyeur – A Self-Portrait

“You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur.” -Nicole Kidman Self-portrait shot through the frosted glass of our back door.  This turned out to be a lot more creepy than I intended.  But I’m happy with that.  😉 Day 131 of my 365 photo a…… Continue reading Voyeur – A Self-Portrait

Framed by Hands

Framed. A self-portrait.

Self-portrait – framed by my hands.  This is not a dance move – I am not “vogue-ing”.  I actually do this on occasion to visualize a shot if I don’t have a camera to look through.   Think of it as a poor man’s camera obscura. Day 113 of my 365 photo a day project. If you…… Continue reading Framed by Hands

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

Worry – Self-Portrait

“Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I’m not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me…… Continue reading Worry – Self-Portrait

3-Way Mirror Selfie

3-way Mirrored Selfie

There is a cool wall of convex mirrors at Discovery World along the lakefront in Milwaukee.  I was there with the family (we have an annual pass, SO worth it).   Anyway, the mirror wall.  I’d love to set up my camera with a tripod and get a cool HDR pano of the whole thing…… Continue reading 3-Way Mirror Selfie

What is the Question

What is the Question

“Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.” –Marilyn Ferguson When I look up at the top of the staircase that is my life’s journey, I see a dark figure looking down at me. That dark figure is me.  It is the inner voice that says be afraid, quit, you…… Continue reading What is the Question
