While trying (and failing) to create some sort of folded/creased sculptures, I happily discovered this composition of crossing lines on one of the discarded pieces of paper. Forgetting my feeble attempts at sculpture, I snapped a few shots of my “creation”. And I have to say, I really like this. It has a kind of minimalist,…… Continue reading Lines on Paper

Fixture – Look Up
“Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up” –Samuel Smiles Whenever I am out and about with my camera, I am always looking around. Up, down, left, right, front, behind. You never know what a change in perspective will reveal. That is especially true when inside old public buildings. …… Continue reading Fixture – Look Up

Curved Lines 1
Curved lines in the architecture of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The artwork in the museum is breathtaking, but the building itself is a work of art. I could spend hours walking around the interior and exterior of the structure and not even look at what is hanging on the walls. This building is…… Continue reading Curved Lines 1

This crisp winter air is full of it.” –John Burroughs Frosty ice crystals form on my office window on a very cold January winter morning in Milwaukee.

After the storm passed, I took a…… Continue reading Clash of Seasons
Flux Number 1
“Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.” –John Locke I love playing around with different ideas, techniques, and mediums to create art. While photography is my main focus (pun intended!), I also work with fractals (see here, here, and here) and 3D (here, here,…… Continue reading Flux Number 1
Brainstorm
It’s brainstorm time for new photo ideas and directions. After a full year of my photo a day project, I took a bit of time away from shooting. However, that does not mean I wasn’t creating. Or at least, trying to be creative. Sometimes, when the photographic creative juices are not flowing, I turn…… Continue reading Brainstorm
