Throughout this 365 project, I will certainly have days where I won’t be able to get a proper shot with my camera and I will need to grab whatever I can with my cell phone. The two following images are prime examples. Shot with my Droid in my in-laws basement, I processed both using Snapseed.…… Continue reading Days 56 & 57 of My 365 Project

Top of the Stairs
“And when it’s twelve a clock We climb the stair We never knock ‘Cause nobody’s there Just me and my shadow All alone and feeling blue” –from the song “Me and My Shadow” by Al Jolson, Billy Rose, and Dave Dreyer The back stairs of our two-flat just before dusk. When it gets dark, these…… Continue reading Top of the Stairs
Through the Stained Glass
This stained glass window was shot from a small courtyard looking through a double door to the small warm intimate pub inside at the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I used my 50mm lens set at f/1.8 to get the nice bokeh, both inside and in the reflection on the glass of the first door.…… Continue reading Through the Stained Glass
Footprints
“Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.” –Henry David Thoreau Coming and going. Up and down and the sidewalk. Who are they? Where are they going? They continue…… Continue reading Footprints
Pabst Beer: Good Old Time Flavor

Star Wars Selfie
I love Star Wars. I was 9 years old when the original film was released in 1977. I had all the toys. (man, do I wish I had them now, in their original boxes. Cha-ching!) So yeah, I’m just a bit excited, delighted, overjoyed, and thrilled about the imminent release of “The Force Awakens”. I’m…… Continue reading Star Wars Selfie
Hot Rod Racer
This is my mini 1/64th scale 1953 Buick Century vintage toy hot rod car. It was cold and west outside today, so I snapped a few shots of this baby and had a ton of fun processing the image. I started in Lightroom then to Photoshop for some focus stacking and a myriad of…… Continue reading Hot Rod Racer
Backyard Leaves
“As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.” –Dante Alighieri A carpet of fallen Maple leaves cover the ground in our backyard. Day 47 of my 365 photo a day project.
With Open Eyes
“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.” –T. E. Lawrence Another…… Continue reading With Open Eyes
Sand and Water: Unplug
With the state of current affairs in our world today, the need to unplug, get outside, forget about everything, and just be in nature is paramount. This shot was me doing just that. I wanted to create something that was peaceful and calm, yet also had a dark moody undertone that reflected the nature of…… Continue reading Sand and Water: Unplug
Flowing Water: The River
“He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.” –Horace The Milwaukee River under the Locust Street bridge. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 44 of my 365 photo a day project.
Pickup Lines
The front pickup of my vintage 1968 Bartell-Hohner Fretless f-hole hollow body bass guitar. It was designed by former Rickenbacker employee Paul Barth of Bartell of California. I have to admit that I’ve had this for about 30 years now and have barley played it. It mostly just sits in its case and collects dust…… Continue reading Pickup Lines
