Emerging New Series


I feel like I've been in a creative lull lately.  Well, with the CoPA Member's show and exhibit at Caggio, it has certainly been busy.  However, I've been without a real project for some time now.  I feel I need to a focus and total emersion in order to find and tell a story.  The concept is coming together nicely but now I have to get out there and explore it further.  For now, let's just say it will be urban focused . . .

More to come.

The Long and Winding Road


I've been spending more time down on the Milwaukee River these days, taking the dog for some exercise and meeting people and other dogs along the way.  The path parallels the river on both sides and at least right, while the grass is short, my dog has lots of room to roam and explore.  It's an area I plan to explore more with images.  This one, I'm experimenting with a Lightroom preset that I found online.  I find it interesting in that the image has this glow to it and the color makes it look surreal.  It certainly doesn't work for everything but I kind of like it here.  Let me know what you think!

My favorite for Breakfast



This is currently my favorite place for breakfast.  With great sausage biscuit gravy and bacon everywhere, what's not to like!

The Things We See While Driving



Whenever my wife and I travel, I drive.  For once, I asked her to drive figuring I could catch some shut eye and/or snap a few photos along the way.  I wanted to test out the 70-200mm f/2.8L version II zoom and figured shooting the scenery from a moving car would be a good test.  Well, first off, it's harder than it looks because the lens is long, the car is small and the windows were closed!  I eventually was able to get the hang of it and the lens performed very well.  This shot was taken almost perpedicular to the direction the car was traveling and at highway speeds!
