Pewitt’s Nest
An extremely processed photograph of the waterfall at Pewitt’s Nest near the Wisconsin Dells re-imagined as a digital painting. Since I haven’t had the time to get out and shoot lately (excuses…excuses), I’ve been going through my catalog looking for unprocessed gems. I found this one from June of 2015. I needed to blow up…… Continue reading Pewitt’s Nest

Some of which jut out as much as 12 feet! The rolling overhangs and proximity to Lake Michigan, is where the building got its name. Day…… Continue reading Aqua Tower
Tree in the Fog 2 – Behind the Scenes
