Gigantic Event

_DSC4448-Edit

A pair of Mallards rest in the midst of the gigantic snow event in northeast Wisconsin.


Lucky Distance

IMG_2034-EditTextures

The pelican statue is lucky it stands a safe distance from the ice shove along the Green Bay shore.


Humble Shoot

_DSC0045-Edit

A sure sign of spring is when the humble shoots bloom.


Foolish

If you are a Packer’s fan and don’t mind looking foolish you religiously wear your cheesehead while cheering on the team.


Candid and Tremble

_DSC4344-Edit

The Lombardi trophy is candid acknowledgement of supreme achievement that can cause the  most macho recipients to tremble.


Bang and Blend

_DSC4423-Edit

Bang and Blend:

This vintage Hooker header gathers the combustion bangs and exhaust gases  from each of the four cylinders of our ’58 TR3 and blends them together into a delightfully raucous cacophony.  We hope to get our freshly rebuilt engine back into its engine bay before summer.


Alike and Fast

Alike and Fast:

The footballs displayed in the Packer Hall of Fame are all alike, but Brett’s traveled fastest.


Even Field

_DSC4342-Edit-Edit

We found this old, patinated work truck rusting away in the foreground of a plowed, even field. We liked the various textures offered and were especially interested in the broken window which we placed in the bottom right third intersection. The horizon falls on the top third line.


East and Depend

_DSC4275-Edit-2

In 1937 boats on Lake Winnebago approaching  the central western shore just north of Oshkosh from the east were expected to depend on the Asylum Point lighthouse for safe passage.  The WPA project was rejected by the Dept. of Transportation and was never lit.  In 2007 the lighthouse was restored.


Clean and White

_DSC4362-Edit-Edit copy

“The Farm,” a popular Door County attraction, is closed for the season so the recent snow fall remains pristine and unmarked by man or beast. 


Elevation and Alongside

Window washers toil alongside a high rise while an elevated city worker takes down holiday decorations.

Depth of Field, Farm and Time:

This Door County farm barn has evolved into a winery gallery through the passage of time.


Evening Circle

_DSC4351-EditThe dashboard on our Mazda indicates 9 F. The clock on St. Joe’s steeple Indicates 4:50 PM, early evening at the Appleton PAC. Numb fingers set the Nikon’s dials and the photo is taken, hopefully achieving the desired DOF “evening circle.”


Great Alone

_DSC4274-Edit-Edit

The Bible stands alone as the greatest book in Christian Literature.

Center Walking

_DSC4321-Edit-Edit

We photographed a walker through the center of a circle of an armrest as she walked through the lobby of Appleton’s City Center. We only show you her boots; you have to imagine the rest of her.
