An extremely processed photograph of the waterfall at Pewitt’s Nest near the Wisconsin Dells re-imagined as a digital painting.

I needed to blow up…… Continue reading Pewitt’s Nest

Mediterranean Dreams

Mediterranean Dreams

On a walk today to Lake Michigan, I stopped at the Lake Park Pavilion to take in the view of the water while enjoying the relatively warm early March weather.

Opposite – Word Play

Opposites

“It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite” –Soren Kierkegaard When I shot the word “Open” I had no idea where the image was going to take me.  But there was something about it that made me slow down, turn around, stop, and…… Continue reading Opposite – Word Play

Crayons

Crayons

“Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.” –Al Hirschfeld Nothing brings back more childhood memories than a plastic tub filled with hundreds of old, well used, multi-colored Crayola sticks from the 1970s. Shot on my Droid Turbo and processed in Photoshop. Day 10 of my 365 photo a day project. If you…… Continue reading Crayons
