Flowing Silk Linens

This is a simple, yet elegant, poppy bloom from the flower bed near our back door.  The petals reminded me of linens on a clothes line, flowing under the influence of a warm summer breeze.

It’s original color was the typical poppy red, but I decided to process it as a monochrome image. I love the subtle variations in tone and texture that are not as noticeable with the color version.

Digital Divide

Child Reading, Child Portrait, iPhone, Sepia, Girl, Book, Father, Daughter

A father-daughter moment – dad browsing with his iPhone and daughter browsing “old school.”

Sometimes a “moment” just happens.  This photo was taken in May of 2011 while visiting family.  There were a number of other people in the room, visiting, laughing and having a good time.  I was down on the floor focusing my photographic effort on the little girl, snapping pictures and didn’t really notice the symmetry between her and her father in the background until I saw it on my computer screen.

This image actually took a good deal of work and digital magic. Beyond converting it to monochrome, there was another person in the shot and a fourth person’s foot that I had to remove to isolate my subjects.

Lazy Man’s Cove

Sailboat, Dock, Sunrise, Reflection, Lake, Cove, Wisconsin

A lone sailboat rests as the sun rises over Lazy Man’s Cove.

Well, it’s not really called Lazy Man’s Cove.  I just made it up because, with the rickety dock in the foreground, I thought the name fit.

This is actually at the Green Lake Conference Center in Green Lake, Wisconsin.  This is a little protected area of the lake right next to the conference center.  I was up, wandering the grounds with my camera (of course), at sunrise last June.

January Fog

Foggy, Fog, Field, Farm, Rural, Tree

Whatever lies beyond that tree has been swallowed up by a eerie mid-winter’s fog.

This is was snapped in the middle of the day, in the farm field across the road from our rural home in Kewaunee County, WI.  I’ve taken quite a few photos of this tree over the years.  See… Spring Enchantment, Day’s End Elm and Serene Sunset.

Keep Out

Woods, Rural, Driveway, Gate, Keep Out, Posted, Monochrome, Fog, Foggy

On a cold, dreary, foggy day, this rural driveway into the woods seems mysterious and even a bit dangerous.

This is a spot just down the road and around the corner from my home.  I drive by it quite often.  It never caught my eye until I drove by it slowly on a foggy day.

With Dad

Monochrome, Child Portrait, Father, Daughter, Stare

The eyes of this child are hypnotic.  It’s hard for me to look away…all the while, wondering what she might be thinking.

This is a father and daughter – part of a family of five I was working with for a family portrait.  He was carrying her as we walked to another setting in the outdoors.

Sentinels – Fishing in the Fog

Monochrome, Fishing, Fishermen, Lake Michigan, Algoma, WI, B&W, Pier

Like sentinels with bayonets drawn, two fishermen are on high alert, ready for the bite.  These stalwart anglers are fishing for salmon in the early morning fog.  Their lures are plying the waters of Lake Michigan, off the pier at Algoma, Wisconsin.

Angling in a Fog

A lone fisherman waits in a fog for the first bite. He’s fishing for salmon or trout in the waters of Lake Michigan from the pier in Algoma, Wisconsin.

This was the scene I found last Saturday. I stopped and took a number of photos of this guy…and the lighthouse and flowers and bees and birds…”whatever caught my eye.”

Blooming in Black & White

I love fireworks.  The climbing rockets, bursting into bright, streaming displays of color and light are an irresistible enticement for my photographic efforts.

I decided to try something unusual with this one.  The shape of the bursts reminded me of flowers blooming.  Rather than emphasize the color, I removed all color to accentuate the shape.

I wasn’t sure I’d like it without the color, but the more I look at it, the more it appeals to me.  I really like the firework’s reflection in the water.

Coming In

Boat, Clouds, Water, Algoma, MonochromeA lone boat heads for the harbor of Algoma, Wisconsin after a morning of fishing on Lake Michigan. The combination of sun, sky, lake and boat provide plenty to keep the eye and the mind busy with this one.
