This abstract photography-based digital artwork, combines two of my artistic passions – 3D animation and photography. The base color scheme is from a photograph of an old worn out table that had several coats of mismatched paint on it in addition to several glued-on pieces of newsprint and other paper. Then the color information from…… Continue reading Passions Collide – Abstract 5

Happy Flying
Happy Flying! This little guy sure loves to soar. You can see joy in his eyes and the smile on his face. This photo was created as part of a new service I’m offering called Capturing Keepsakes. Think of it as portraits for a most cherished child’s toy or prized family heirloom. Head on…… Continue reading Happy Flying
The Narrow Path
“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” –Henry David Thoreau This photograph of a narrow, leaf-covered footpath was taken near my home in Milwaukee. It is along the Milwaukee River near Riverside Park. What you see here is what I saw with my eyes AND my…… Continue reading The Narrow Path
Three Oak Leaves
Now that October is upon us, the leaves have started changing colors. I found these three Oak leaves along a walkway in Riverside Park near my home. While most of the leaves are still green in the area, you can see a hint of color hear and there. Soon enough the parks, woods, and forests…… Continue reading Three Oak Leaves
Lite Brite
What happens when you introduce a 2 1/2 year old to a vintage Lite Brite? A joyful couple of hours of total fun. Add to that some really cool (and totally photographable) color abstracts. Introduced by Milton Bradley in 1967, this particular version is circa 1986. Now I just need to watch out for those long…… Continue reading Lite Brite
Eternally Spinning
“To believe in luck, you must believe that the universe is a roulette wheel and that instead of paying out to us what we have earned, it pays out only what it wishes. But it is not a spinning wheel of chance, it is a work of art, complete and framed by eternity.” –from “Innocence”…… Continue reading Eternally Spinning
Stencil Alphabet Fun
While working the second day of the rummage and art sale at our house, I decided to have a little stencil alphabet fun. Because a day (or two!) of standing around trying to sell your used junk can be very tiring! I took a ton of shots of lots and lots of things, but like in most cases, simple is…… Continue reading Stencil Alphabet Fun

Water Flower
It’s amazing how beautiful a single flower floating in a water filled glass bowl can be. I found this blossom on a cafe table in one of our local markets. I quickly stopped to take the shot and went on with my shopping. It was only when I got back home that I realized I…… Continue reading Water Flower
Tunnel of Fun
How many times did my son climb up and down this tunnel of fun at the local church playground? Way too many to count. But I’m not complaining. I could sit and watch (and photograph!) him running, sliding, climbing, laughing, and playing all day and all night. For this shot, he stopped moving long enough…… Continue reading Tunnel of Fun
The Creative Process: A Starting Point
“We do not evaluate the result but the starting point of the creative process.” –Ludwig Mies van der Rohe In his thoughts on Photography, Ernst Haas said “the camera only facilitates the taking.” To what degree is a source of great debate. Some believe photography is only about capturing the moment and no extra processing is…… Continue reading The Creative Process: A Starting Point
An Orange Lily
This single orange lily is one of many that line our driveway from the garage to the street. Today, while most were in the shade of the house, this one was off by itself, basking in the glow of the sun. For some reason, I thought of the old Chinese proverb that says if you…… Continue reading An Orange Lily
