“The world’s a forest, in which all lose their way; though by a different path each goes astray.” –George Villiers A staircase rising out of a small ravine along the Seven Bridges Trail in Grant Park, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Straight Line Above
“The straight line belongs to men, the curved one to God.” –Antoni Gaudi Whenever I am out and about, I’m always looking up (and down and around). Some of the most interesting photographs can be found when you look at things from a different perspective. And that is especially true of architecture. Looking up, I…… Continue reading Straight Line Above
Happiness is
Happiness is a smiley face coffee cup full of pens, pencils, markers, brushes, highlighters, and a ruler sitting on an artist’s desk. As my wife and I were reading stories to my son tonight (well, she was reading and my son and I were listening), I noticed this happy little guy on her desk…… Continue reading Happiness is
Blue and Amber
On a short walk at Three Bridges Park in the Menomonee Valley area of Milwaukee, I shot this amber grass covered hill with the partly cloudy blue sky in the background. My goal with this image was to capture the contrasting (sometime referred to complementary) colors of the orange of the native plants and blue…… Continue reading Blue and Amber
The Window
“Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don’t worry about my destiny.” –Carl Sandburg Light beams through what seems to be an opening to an outside world illuminating the dark passage.

Day 123 – Binary
“There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.” — Unknown I think the message says it all! 😉 Day 123 of 365.
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
St Francis Seminary Woods
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” –John Muir Shot on a quiet, albeit cold and very icy, walk through the St. Francis Seminary Woods in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan. Day 97 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
3-Way Mirror 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
Two Trees in the Snow
These two trees seem to be embracing or at least leaning on each other – like two old friends enjoying each other’s company. Shot in Lake Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 94 of my 365 Photo-a-day Project.
The Starting Point
“The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods.” –Robin S. Sharma Riverside Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin on an overcast, damp, cool, December afternoon. The day was pretty drab and dreary, but the…… Continue reading The Starting Point
