Architectural EKG
An architectural EKG on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I walk past this building on the way to the library from my home at least once a week.

Lines on Paper
While trying (and failing) to create some sort of folded/creased sculptures, I happily discovered this composition of crossing lines on one of the discarded pieces of paper. Forgetting my feeble attempts at sculpture, I snapped a few shots of my “creation”. And I have to say, I really like this. It has a kind of minimalist,…… Continue reading Lines on Paper
Fixture – Look Up
“Man cannot aspire if he looked down; if he rise, he must look up” –Samuel Smiles Whenever I am out and about with my camera, I am always looking around. Up, down, left, right, front, behind.
