Probably the best thing about black and white images is that by not including any color, you make an image more abstract. You can take a highly noticeable image and make it somewhat abstract by removing color. Take this image for example. In color, you would know right away what it is, but in black … Read more
Chicago is one of my favorite cities and offers endless photo opportunities. If you ever have time to spare, make sure take a drive on Lower Wacker Drive — it’s amazing how many people don’t even know the road exists under the city. Plus, you’ll be able to say you drove on the same road … Read more
Well, actually the picture is just the vine… Here’s an image of some grape vine that I took back in May of 2007. My dad has the best luck with growing grapes and this is just a tiny sampling of the vine. It’s fun to play with super shallow depth of field.

Time for another random image. This time it’s a quiz — where am I? Hint: somewhere in Madison, WI

It was my first wedding in Iowa (Dubuque, to be exact), and a big college football game weekend with the UW Badgers going up against the unbeaten Hawkeyes. I brought along my Bucky shirt, but was quick to hide it as the Hawkeyes kept … Read more
Cool and cloudy, that was the weather of the day. Sad and gloomy, that was the mood of the morning as Chris and Rachel had to put their pet dog of 13 years to rest. It’s a sad day when a friend leaves you, and my heart goes out to them. My dog is nine … Read more
Yup, it’s that time again. A while back I was experimenting with a technique called reverse lens macro and this is one of the images I came up with. It’s a peppercorn at the macro level.
