Hand/Eye Coordination

Sometimes, playing around with a pen and a hand can be fun.

Storm Hydrant

For me, an impending storm + a lonely fire hydrant + a barren, suburban landscape = a photograph I can be very proud of.

When elements come together like this, it makes the hair on my arms and neck stand up–making such moments magical.

The Potential Pitfalls of Literalism

Honestly, when a scene like this presents itself to me, it would be a crime NOT to photograph it! I just love when they come gift-wrapped like this!

Forest Fence

I was wrapping up a photo walk and began heading to my car. On the way there, I happened to notice this scene on the other side of a little water way. I knew I couldn’t pass it up so I made the photo. As it turned out, it was one of the ones I particularly liked from that afternoon.

Three Pots

I was having some fun with my tilt-shift lens and grabbed this photo. I really liked the atmospheric quality here and so I thought I’d post it.

Garden Salvation

While driving through Chicago’s South-West Suburbs (Darien, to be exact)  my wife and I saw a Landscape Supply company on the side of the road. We pulled over (naturally!) and parked right in front of this scene. I couldn’t help but grab the camera…and grab this photograph.

City Blizzard

Snow. Evening. City. Traffic. And a guy with a camera…I like where this went.
