Well, the day is here. Day 365. What better way to finish a year of photos, than with a family portrait. These two are the reason I do what I do. I live for them and love them both unconditionally. Without their support, there is no way I would have ever completed this project. In…… Continue reading A Family Portrait

Wonderful Magic
You get some wonderful magical surprises when you experiment. For this sweet shot of my son, I used a Diana+ 110mm soft focus telephoto Lomography lens. The cheap plastic lens produces a very cool retro soft glow to everything. If you are looking for tack sharp images, this lens is NOT for you. However, it…… Continue reading Wonderful Magic
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
Me and My Shadow
Reflection, meet shadow. Here is another shot of my son from the Milwaukee Art Museum this Labor Day weekend. Up on the third floor of the new wing, there are these great big windows overlooking the lake and the rest of the museum. One of his favorite places there, he loves to look out the…… Continue reading Me and My Shadow
Our Little Cookie Monster
This is our beautiful little cookie monster. As I start the countdown of the last 30 days of my 365 project, I want to revisit some themes from the past year. Of course, my son has been a big part of the challenge. His imagination, the way he sees the world, and his joy in discovering…everything, has…… Continue reading Our Little Cookie Monster
Contemplating Impermanence
“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”…… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence
Monkey See Monkey Do
Monkey See, Monkey Do. Monkey makes the face daddy taught him, too. Over and over and over. Sigh. That’s my boy! Day 329 of my 365 photo a day project. Are you looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop? Most of the images from this project are available…… Continue reading Monkey See Monkey Do
Self-Portrait 34
By my count, this is self-portrait 34 in this project. When I need to shoot something interesting everyday and I can’t find a suitable subject, it makes sense to shoot myself. After all, I am trying to share a bit of me in every photo I create. What better way to do that than with a photograph…… Continue reading Self-Portrait 34
Marvin the Martian
I’ve had this statuette of Marvin the Martian for a long time. If you ever been to my office or been on a video hangout with me, you’ve this angry little guy standing on a small table over my shoulder. He is my favorite Martian. But I have no idea why I waited so long to…… Continue reading Marvin the Martian
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
A Riff on Magritte’s The Pilgrim
One of the great things about my 365 project, is the necessity to experiment, or riff, on different styles and techniques. To keep the daily image fresh and exciting to both me and the viewer, I have to constantly push out of my comfort zone. Today, I decided to borrow some ideas from Belgian surrealist painter Rene…… Continue reading A Riff on Magritte’s The Pilgrim
Going Places
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” –T.S. Eliot This is how I see my son quite often these days – running to and fro, exploring everything he sees. Pushing limits is built in to the DNA of a toddler. Now sometimes that can be a…… Continue reading Going Places
