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.

The Windy City
What a day in the Windy City! After well over 10 miles of walking, photographing everything along the way, a couple of great meals, a few tasty beverages, and lots of sunburns and blisters, we ended our day sitting on the breakwater near the Adler Planetarium watching the sun go down behind the city of Chicago. …… Continue reading The Windy City
The Chicago Skyline
The Chicago Skyline from the Adler Planetarium. Since I am spending this day shooting with friends in Chicago, I thought I’d share an image I took the last time was there last August.

This image started as a simple exercise to test my old Vivitar 283 flash. My goal…… Continue reading Abyss
Voyeur – A Self-Portrait
“You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur.” -Nicole Kidman Self-portrait shot through the frosted glass of our back door. This turned out to be a lot more creepy than I intended. But I’m happy with that. 😉 Day 131 of my 365 photo a…… Continue reading Voyeur – A Self-Portrait
