These small containers of washable paint belong to my son. I noticed the complementary colors when I was cleaning his painting supplies and I thought, ‘I have to shoot those!’ Of course, I dropped everything and took the plastic buckets to my camera stand. Priorities, you know… To make the saturated colors really stand out in the…… Continue reading Four Small Containers of Paint

Our Little Cookie Monster
This is our beautiful little cookie monster. As I start the countdown of the last 30 days of my 365 project, I want to revisit some themes from the past year. Of course, my son has been a big part of the challenge. His imagination, the way he sees the world, and his joy in discovering…everything, has…… Continue reading Our Little Cookie Monster
Half My Marbles
I’ve lost half my marbles. (Only half?) Because I’m going crazy trying to come up with new ideas for this project. However, the end is near. In just 30 days, I will finish the 365 photo a day project. So I will push through and endeavor to create 30 more photographs in the next month. …… Continue reading Half My Marbles
Contemplating Impermanence
“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”…… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence
The Switch
“People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they’re all asleep at the switch.” –Florence King The only chance you have to ever get what you want, what you dream about, is to do something, anything. Because just thinking about it will get…… Continue reading The Switch
Eternally Spinning
“To believe in luck, you must believe that the universe is a roulette wheel and that instead of paying out to us what we have earned, it pays out only what it wishes. But it is not a spinning wheel of chance, it is a work of art, complete and framed by eternity.” –from “Innocence”…… Continue reading Eternally Spinning
Peeling Back the Layers
“I wondered to what extent people remained the same as they’d been when very young; if one peeled back the layers of living one would come to know the child.” –Dick Francis With my son as my guide, I’m working toward peeling back the strata of my own life to reveal the wide-eyed exploring curious child I…… Continue reading Peeling Back the Layers
Stencil Alphabet Fun
While working the second day of the rummage and art sale at our house, I decided to have a little stencil alphabet fun. Because a day (or two!) of standing around trying to sell your used junk can be very tiring! I took a ton of shots of lots and lots of things, but like in most cases, simple is…… Continue reading Stencil Alphabet Fun
Fierce Calm
Long exposures of large fierce waves can produce a surprisingly ethereal and calm image. The waves you don’t see in this image were around 4-6 feet tall. Quite tall for Lake Michigan, but what you’d expect after a thunderstorm. And since this is yet another horizon shot for me, I wanted to do something different with the…… Continue reading Fierce Calm
Monkey See Monkey Do
Monkey See, Monkey Do. Monkey makes the face daddy taught him, too. Over and over and over. Sigh. That’s my boy! Day 329 of my 365 photo a day project. Are you looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop? Most of the images from this project are available…… Continue reading Monkey See Monkey Do
Self-Portrait 34
By my count, this is self-portrait 34 in this project. When I need to shoot something interesting everyday and I can’t find a suitable subject, it makes sense to shoot myself. After all, I am trying to share a bit of me in every photo I create. What better way to do that than with a photograph…… Continue reading Self-Portrait 34
Paint Brush of the Soul
“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” –Henry Ward Beecher The photography is by me, but the idea for this image courtesy of my wife with the paint supplied by my son. Day 327 of my 365 photo a day project. Are you looking for…… Continue reading Paint Brush of the Soul
