This is just me tinkering around at the very end of the day. (I did shoot this on the 8th. Honest!) Talk about taking it down to the wire. With little motivation to really spend the time to find “the cool shot”, I just grabbed some of my son’s classic wooden Jumbo Tinker Toys…… Continue reading Tinkering Around

Wide and Narrow Lines
Details of lines and shapes on an exterior wall of a modular building at the Maryland Avenue Montessori School on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was overcast today which made for very soft and even illumination. On a walk with the family to the grocery store, we stopped to let my son…… Continue reading Wide and Narrow Lines
Color and Smoke II – RGB Triptych

The warehouse (see it here) that stood empty and decaying on this spot, was torn down last year and the land reclaimed as parkland. It is now part of…… Continue reading Out of Service

The Farmall was old, certainly well used and most certainly beat…… Continue reading Vintage Farmall Tractor
