Light and Dark – Inspirational
This is one of my favorite photos – a simple daisy, processed to a monochrome image. I recently found this quote from Walt Whitman that I thought would be a nice addition.
A little something for B&W photography enthusiasts.

Love is Waiting
“The smile upon my lips,
It will surely never die
As I’m waiting here for you
until you’re by my side.”
― Freida Martinez
An hour before the wedding, the groom waits patiently for the impending nuptials.
Our son, Paul, waits in the background as the room is decorated with flowers and arranged for a simple wedding ceremony. Sara, (his mother, my wife) did a wonderful job with the flowers and preparation.

Blue Ice
I find the detail in this icicle interesting. It’s made a bit more appealing by the light of a setting sun in the background.
These icicles were hanging off the front porch of our home in rural Wisconsin.

Floral Fancy – Inspirational
I posted the photo of this flower a little more than a week ago (Floral Fancy) and at the time I thought this quirky metal sculpture could use an appropriate quote. I added one from Marcel Proust that I thought fitting. If you like it, please pass it around.
It’s also available for sale – without the PopsDigital.com tag in the corner. You can have it printed poster size or made into a greeting card. There are a lot of options available on the sales page. Just click the “Buy This Online” bar below.
Road to Nowhere
On a foggy winter morning I was out snapping scenery. I decided to take a different perspective on a road near our home.
This is one of those images where you can stare and contemplate what deep meaning the artist was trying to convey. (That’s what I’m doing.)

Fall Leaf Patterns
The color of this little autumn woodland scene caught my eye. The lines and textures of the leaves kept my interest. The little stem that supported these leaves was covered with tiny thorns.

New Beginnings
This is a springtime image – new growth on young trees. I took this photo last spring in some woods near our home. I added a bit of texture to it, adding some visual interest.

Fall Family Outing
“Your children are the greatest gift God will give to you, and their souls the heaviest responsibility He will place in your hands. Take time with them, teach them to have faith in God. Be a person in whom they can have faith. When you are old, nothing else you’ve done will have mattered as much.”
― Lisa Wingate
Honing my Family Portrait skills. I thought the family seemed pretty relaxed for this one. I also thought the setting, with the river running through the background, was relaxing, too.

Epic Spiral Stairway
Things are looking up. (Well, I was, anyway.) This is a view of a unique spiral stairway with my wife and son looking down at me. (Probably thinking, “Can we go now? How many more pictures are you going to take?”)
These are photos I took a couple of years ago as we toured the company my son works for – Epic in Verona, WI. They specialize in software for the medical industry. They have a very cool campus with buildings that tend to be theme oriented, accented with unique architecture, sculpture and artwork. Plenty of cool stuff to point a camera at.
All these images are looking up at the same stairway from different angles.

Floral Fancy
The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
― Robert Henri
I am often amazed at the wealth of creativity in our world. I am awed at how someone can create something useful, interesting, provocative, beautiful and captivating that never would have entered my mind were I given the same materials and opportunity.
This sculpture of metal and glass is an example. You may, or may not, find it appealing but you can’t deny the incredible creativity of the artist who created it.
I found and photographed this art in the hallway of a major software company. I added a little bit of shading and texture to the blue wall.
If you look closely, you can see my reflection in the colorful glass ball that rests at the center of the flower.
