“Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, creeds follow one another, but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons, a possession for all eternity.” –Oscar Wilde We had our first real snowfall of the season a few days ago. After the storm passed, I took a…… Continue reading Clash of Seasons

Flux Number 1
“Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.” –John Locke I love playing around with different ideas, techniques, and mediums to create art. While photography is my main focus (pun intended!), I also work with fractals (see here, here, and here) and 3D (here, here,…… Continue reading Flux Number 1
Look Into My Eyes
“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.” –Richard Bach Day 357 of my 365 photo a day project. Processed in Photoshop and Lightroom with liberal use of Topaz Glow and Topaz Impression.…… Continue reading Look Into My Eyes
Down Feather
Another reoccurring subject in my 365 Project is feathers. This tiny down feather is the latest image in that theme. Only about an inch long, it’s amazing that a collection of these can power flight. Day 352 of my 365 photo a day project. Looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop? This image and most…… Continue reading Down Feather
Four Small Containers of Paint
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
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
Don’t Follow the Crowd
Don’t follow the crowd. Be different. Follow your own path. Think outside of the box. Be the black sheep. The list of cliches goes on and on and on. While the phrases are overused, the sentiment is true. Because if you want to stand out from everyone else, you’ve got to do something or be…… Continue reading Don’t Follow the Crowd
Smallest Leaf
“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.” –Henry David Thoreau I am fascinated by decaying leaves. Like little leaf shaped skeletons, I still find them here and there, even in the dog days of summer. Perhaps…… Continue reading Smallest Leaf
Clear Line of Sight
“Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” –Jonathan Swift A clear line of sight all the way to the horizon. Since I’m in the homestretch in my photo a day project and starting a new month, I thought I’d revisit the minimalist theme here (huh, did I ever leave it?) but…… Continue reading Clear Line of Sight
Another Vent in the Wall
With apologies to Pink Floyd, here is just another vent in the wall. Why do simple, minimal scenes like this fascinate me so? Perhaps I’ll never know. Day 303 of my 365 photo a day project. This is the south facing wall of the Sendik’s grocery store on Downer Avenue on Milwaukee’s East Side. …… Continue reading Another Vent in the Wall
Pencil on a Blank Page
A pencil on a blank white page. Another image inspired by my lack of any good ideas for my image of the day. And now as I write, add to that the scarcity of words to go along with it. However, I have learned that the best way to get over creative (or writer’s) block…… Continue reading Pencil on a Blank Page
Unzipping
I actually had a tough time coming up with something to say about this image beyond the title. I called it “Unzipping” for obvious reasons. And my goal in shooting it was very simple – I thought the graphic nature of the line of the zipper and the metal teeth coming undone would make for a very cool…… Continue reading Unzipping
