An extremely processed photograph of the waterfall at Pewitt’s Nest near the Wisconsin Dells re-imagined as a digital painting. Since I haven’t had the time to get out and shoot lately (excuses…excuses), I’ve been going through my catalog looking for unprocessed gems. I found this one from June of 2015. I needed to blow up…… Continue reading Pewitt’s Nest

Look Into My Eyes

Look Into My Eyes

Self-Portrait 34

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

A Collection of Old Nikon Gear

Old Nikons

Day 112 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home…… Continue reading Warp Speed

Abstract Tones

Abstract Tones

I call this image Abstract Tones.  Can you guess what it is?  I’ll admit to using Topaz Glow and Topaz Impression in the creation of this image, but both of those plugins were used at the end of the process in the final touches.  The spiral/ concentric circles you see here is straight of the camera.…… Continue reading Abstract Tones

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” –John Muir Shot on a quiet, albeit cold and very icy, walk through the St. Francis Seminary Woods in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan. Day 97 of my 365 photo-a-day project.

Stockings Hung By the Chimney

Stockings Hung by the Chimney with Care

’twasn’t quite the night before Christmas, but it was at night and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.  The only thing I wish was different – outside of it not being the night before Christmas and there was no St. Nick – is that we had a real wood-burning fireplace.  Oh well,…… Continue reading Stockings Hung By the Chimney
