One of the main reasons for undertaking this 365 Project was to force myself to think outside of the box but also to create images quickly. After all, each shot, like Six Strings, would be shot, processed, and uploaded in a day. For today, I wanted a shot of my electric guitar (which is just…… Continue reading Six Strings

Watercolor
A watercolor paint tray on a white background. There is something about a set of these simple paints that just makes me happy. Perhaps it reminds me of the hours and hours I spent creating page after page of refrigerator masterpieces as a child. Perhaps it is simply the spectrum of bright colors. Whatever it…… Continue reading Watercolor
Strawberries and Blueberries
Mmmmm. A nice bowl of fresh strawberries and blueberries. I was inspired to take this shot as I fixed a quick breakfast for my son this morning. It was a quick set up with only one DIY light and natural light from the office window – both on camera left. Shot with a tripod and…… Continue reading Strawberries and Blueberries
Smiling Block Bins
The smiling block bins. All lined up nicely, content, full, happy. Take a good look. In our house, with a toddler running around, this is a very rare occurrence. I had to document that it actually does happen on occasion. Day 110 of 365.
The Morning Power Up
I wish I could just push the power button to wake up in the morning. Just push it, wait 30 seconds, and be ready to go. Well, I guess that is what coffee does for me, three cups of it, but it works. This image is a comp of my everyday coffee mug and the “On”…… Continue reading The Morning Power Up
Mic Check 1 2 3
I recently got the Blue Yeti Microphone for Christmas. While I can’t claim to know a lot about the different microphones on the market, I can say this mic is awesome. I don’t have a radio voice ( a radio face, maybe.), but this mic makes me sound SO much better than the one built into my…… Continue reading Mic Check 1 2 3
64 Colors
Peach. Lavender. Thistle. Orange-Yellow. Or was it Yellow-Orange? Some very obvious names and some that made you scratch your head. I think it would have been great fun to be paid to name the colors of each crayon. Which was/is your favorite color? This shot came about after I spent the better part of the…… Continue reading 64 Colors
Spice
The kitchen spice racks that hang on the wall next to our stove. A 5-shot 32-bit HDR processed in Lightroom and Photoshop with help from Topaz Impression. Day 75 of my 365 photo a day project.
Open for Refreshments
We picked up our Christmas tree for the house today. It wasn’t quite a Charlie Brown tree, but it was probably one of the smallest they had. We went to a place in Riverwest off of Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee called Kellners Greenhouses. It doesn’t look like much from the street but you don’t see…… Continue reading Open for Refreshments
X Blocks
These are my son’s old alphabet stacking blocks. And he loves playing with them. Well, I have to admit, that I love playing with them too. Spelling out words, seeing how high I can stack them, building pyramids – all the things a middle aged man is supposed to do, right? No, you say? Well,…… Continue reading X Blocks
Crayons
“Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.” –Al Hirschfeld Nothing brings back more childhood memories than a plastic tub filled with hundreds of old, well used, multi-colored Crayola sticks from the 1970s. Shot on my Droid Turbo and processed in Photoshop. Day 10 of my 365 photo a day project. If you…… Continue reading Crayons
I Miss You Most of All
“The falling leaves drift by my window The falling leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves…… Continue reading I Miss You Most of All
