If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop, many images from this project…… Continue reading Bath Time

Camera Obscura
I’ve been fascinated with pinhole (camera obscura) photography since I built my first pinhole camera out of an oatmeal container way back in high school. (For those of you keeping score, that was over 30 years ago.) There is something amazing about how such a tiny pinhole can capture such cool imagery. What is more…… Continue reading Camera Obscura
Half Light: Jumping Off
“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” –Kurt Vonnegut This is me jumping off a cliff and praying for wings! After 31 days of shooting for my 365 project, I really hit a road block creatively today. Not much energy to shoot anything either. So…… Continue reading Half Light: Jumping Off
One Leaf, Two Leaf
I found this pair of leaves on a rain soaked park bench exactly this way – laying on one other in relative symmetry. While I did a lot of post-processing, Mother Nature certainly did quite a bit of the set up for me. I only had to slow down and look around to see it.…… Continue reading One Leaf, Two Leaf
The Last Flowers of Autumn
“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.” –Anne Frank Some of the last flowers of autumn cling to life as the death of the season falls around them. Shot on a walk through Riverside Park on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 30 of my 365 photo a day…… Continue reading The Last Flowers of Autumn
Ghost in the Machine
“Men have become the tools of their tools.” –Henry David Thoreau Ghost in the Machine. I have a pile of old electronic parts sitting in a box in my office – old RAM sticks, failed hard drives, broken headphones, parts of things long forgotten and more. Just as it was when I was a kid,…… Continue reading Ghost in the Machine
Twisted Stump
To me, the tops of pumpkins have always looked like the stumps of large twisted and gnarled trees, long ago removed by the village axman. And that just adds to the scary and creepy aspect of a well-carved jack-o-lantern at Halloween. With this shot, I wanted to capture that “tree stump” aspect of the autumn…… Continue reading Twisted Stump
Opposite – Word Play
“It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite” –Soren Kierkegaard When I shot the word “Open” I had no idea where the image was going to take me. But there was something about it that made me slow down, turn around, stop, and…… Continue reading Opposite – Word Play
Son
I kind of feel like I’m cheating on my photo a day for a year challenge when I photograph my son. He makes a really great and readily available model. But then again, I’m making the rules of my 365 project, so get used to seeing shots of him. I’m sure there will be quite…… Continue reading Son
Glenview Impressions
We stayed overnight at a friends place in Glenview, Illinois. This little pond is directly across the street from their house. In the morning, the pond was as smooth as glass and the light was just perfect. I was struck by the symmetry in the reflection and the fall colors in the leaves. I’m…… Continue reading Glenview Impressions
Garden Art
Today…well, this was actually yesterday, but I didn’t get a chance to post until today. Anyway, we visited some friends in Glenview, Illinois. I was out in their backyard shooting with my trusty Droid Turbo cell phone camera – don’t judge, it’s a good camera – when these crazy creepy garden fairies started running out…… Continue reading Garden Art
Hangin’ On
My advice is to keep hangin’ on when your heart has had enough and give more when you feel like giving up. This is a very old clothesline strung in our apartment basement. Probably hasn’t been used in a very long time. Day 23 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for…… Continue reading Hangin’ On
