This is my Clint Eastwood “go ahead, make my day” look. A bit of fun late at night while I’m trying new things. And, yes, scrambling to get a shot of the day. Ok, so yeah, it’s another self-portrait for the 365 image of the day. But I did have quite a bit of fun processing…… Continue reading Make My Day

Today I Am Tired
Today, I am tired. I’m exhausted from lack of sleep and too much coffee. I’m mentally drained from trying to do everything on my “to-do” list all at the same time. I’m emotionally fatigued from just about everything I see on the news. Today I feel my age and that makes me weary. But tomorrow…… Continue reading Today I Am Tired
Veil of Memory
As I inch ever closer to a half century on this Earth, I’m reminded more and more how fragile memory can be. Whether it is forgetting where I put my keys or trying to think of what’s-his-name that sat next to me in home room back in grade school, the older I get the more…… Continue reading Veil of Memory
Leading the Way
“If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them – not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.” –Anne Bronte Raising a child is the best thing…… Continue reading Leading the Way
National Selfie Day
Today is National Selfie Day. Now you may think with the way social media is these days that every day is National Selfie Day and you’re probably right. But either way, today is the official day. Therefore, I’m adding my own mug to the endless stream of self shot portraits. My intention with this shot was to do…… Continue reading National Selfie Day
Perpetual Motion
Perpetual motion, a device or body that once set in motion would continue moving forever. Now, as it stands, such a machine is impossible due to friction and other natural forces. But there are days where it seems my son is living proof that such machines do, in fact, exist. He is always moving and…… Continue reading Perpetual Motion
Happy Father’s Day
Today is Father’s Day in North America. Now just a few years ago, if you had asked me if I thought I’d ever celebrate the day as a Dad, I’d say you were crazy. My, how things have changed. Today was my third Father’s Day and I am thrilled, humbled, and proud to be this…… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
Man in the Mirror
“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.” –Ernest Holmes This is the view of my desk I see almost everyday. I sit down here to jot down crazy ideas and thoughts, create to-do lists, and sometimes (or a lot of the time!) stare at blank sheets…… Continue reading Man in the Mirror
Every Day Dilemma
The dilemma of a life as a freelance photographer and 3D/2D motion graphics artist is you must find a way to balance family time, client needs, personal projects, relaxation time, and the mundane but necessary tasks of running a business. It’s enough to drive you crazy at times – being at the center of a…… Continue reading Every Day Dilemma
Family Time on a Spring Weekend
Today was all about family. It was an absolutely beautiful spring day with temps in the mid-70s and plenty of sunshine. We bought plants for the garden in the morning and then hiked the Seven Bridges Trail in South Milwaukee before noon. After naps (unfortunately, no nap for me), we grilled hot dogs and corn on the…… Continue reading Family Time on a Spring Weekend
The Eyes of a Child
“There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million.” –Walt Streightiff Oh, those beautiful eyes just melt my heart every time I see them. Mine own eyes fill with with tears of joy when I think about who he is, what he will see, and who…… Continue reading The Eyes of a Child
A Show of Hands
Ok, a show of hands: who thought I would actually get this far in my photo a day project? Anyone? Well, my hand is half raised. I’ve had my doubts that I would finish many times during the journey. Of course, there is a long way to go, but I’m committed! Only 168 days to…… Continue reading A Show of Hands
