“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” –Sharon Begley The road to somewhere – a path that leads you to new places or experiences. This particular road is at the Pinewoods Campground near Dousman, Wisconsin in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. The morning light, the sunlit moss covered branches, and the curve of the…… Continue reading The Road to Somewhere

Autumn Path
An autumn path on a cool October morning in Mirror Lake State Park. As I took a stroll along one of the many hiking trails, the smoke from the nearby campground danced in the morning sunlight, creating an ethereal and mystical atmosphere. While the birds sang in the trees, I contemplated staying out there forever. As Thoreau said…… Continue reading Autumn Path
Three Oak Leaves
Now that October is upon us, the leaves have started changing colors. I found these three Oak leaves along a walkway in Riverside Park near my home. While most of the leaves are still green in the area, you can see a hint of color hear and there. Soon enough the parks, woods, and forests…… Continue reading Three Oak Leaves
Me and My Shadow
Reflection, meet shadow. Here is another shot of my son from the Milwaukee Art Museum this Labor Day weekend. Up on the third floor of the new wing, there are these great big windows overlooking the lake and the rest of the museum. One of his favorite places there, he loves to look out the…… Continue reading Me and My Shadow
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
Orange Against Green
Outside of the water droplets on the edge of this lily, it was the contrast of the orange against green that first caught my eye. Now as I have said before, it can be difficult to shoot macro hand-held and get the focus where you want it. And with this flower, I was close but did…… Continue reading Orange Against Green
The Ideal Space
On a long holiday weekend, is there better place to be than right here? As architect Luis Barragán once said, “I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.” Yep, I think we have all four of those here. Taken on the beach along the Seven Bridges Trail in Grant Park,…… Continue reading The Ideal Space
Family Time on a Spring Weekend
Today was all about family. It was an absolutely beautiful spring day with temps in the mid-70s and plenty of sunshine. We bought plants for the garden in the morning and then hiked the Seven Bridges Trail in South Milwaukee before noon. After naps (unfortunately, no nap for me), we grilled hot dogs and corn on the…… Continue reading Family Time on a Spring Weekend
Sublime Abstract
My goal with this image was to create a soft, sublime, atmospheric abstract out of something from inside our apartment. I wanted a hint of contour – almost like a foggy landscape with the morning sun peaking over a hill. What is it, you ask? Well, first I’ll say that the image is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, was shot in the…… Continue reading Sublime Abstract
St Francis Seminary Woods
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” –John Muir Shot on a quiet, albeit cold and very icy, walk through the St. Francis Seminary Woods in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan. Day 97 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
Blank Slate
As 2016 begins, we should all sit down, relax, and imagine what we can create in the coming months. After all, at this moment, the year is a blank slate. Focusing on what you want to achieve is the first step toward making it happen. And you’ll never get there if you never try. …… Continue reading Blank Slate

This is an 8 frame panorama taken near Parnell Tower in the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine. Day 17 of my 365…… Continue reading Golden Autumn Woods
