Today, I’m just going for a bit of texture. Ok, a lot of texture. This shot of brick and peeling paint was taken on a walk to the store. I’ve passed by this overhead door many times and have never stopped before. And now I think I’ll have to come back with my tripod and…… Continue reading Brick and Peeling Paint

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
Spiral: Shape and Form
One of the reasons I decided to start a 365 Project was to simply shoot and/or process something new every day. I’ve been doing that now for 157 days and the journey so far has been fantastic. Something I did not think about when I started, was how the project would sharpen and expand my design…… Continue reading Spiral: Shape and Form
Found Object: Feather
Found object – a single black feather on a white background. Day 153 of my 365 photo a day project. If you’d like to see what I started with, here is the original file:
A Collection of Old Nikon Gear
“The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.” –Henri Cartier-Bresson This is most of my collection of Nikon camera gear with the exception of my D700 and 50mm 1.8 lens, used…… Continue reading A Collection of Old Nikon Gear
Electric Guitar
A close up of my 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II electric guitar. An instrument, I hate to say, not played much since the late 80s. I had all of the dreams a normal teenager has about joining a band, playing to packed houses, traveling the world, attending all of the best parties, getting all the chicks,…… Continue reading Electric Guitar
Day 123 – Binary
“There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.” — Unknown I think the message says it all! 😉 Day 123 of 365.
Worry – Self-Portrait
“Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I’m not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me…… Continue reading Worry – Self-Portrait
Madness
“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” –Robin Williams A self-portrait. Day 98 of my 365 photo-a-day project.
Full Moon Rising
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth” –Buddha A rare Christmas full moon rising behind bare trees on a cold and relatively clear night in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The first Christmas full moon since 1977 and the last until 2034. This single photograph was processed in Adobe Photoshop using multiple…… Continue reading Full Moon Rising
The Tie That Binds
“We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.” –from “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” by John Fawcett Day 74 of my 365 photo a day project. A rope fence along a path in the Milwaukee Rotary Centennial Arboretum along the Milwaukee River on the…… Continue reading The Tie That Binds
Stone Circle
It was quiet. Only the sound of the river below and the occasional call of a cautious bird disturbed the silence. Through the damp, cold, winter fog, the narrow path led up to the top of the hill. In the clearing, sat a small stone circle. Reminiscent of an ancient meeting place, I sat alone,…… Continue reading Stone Circle
