Pewitt’s Nest
An extremely processed photograph of the waterfall at Pewitt’s Nest near the Wisconsin Dells re-imagined as a digital painting.

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.

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. You never know what a change in perspective will reveal. That is especially true when inside old public buildings. …… Continue reading Fixture – Look Up
