The challenge I gave myself this morning was to photograph a beautiful sunrise and presenting it in as many different ways I could. I shot from various locations in Rotary Park to capture different elements and composition. I hope you like the following images from Rotary Park in Port Washington, WI.
The 6th grade Saukville Rebels beat the Slinger Owls 19-6 on an unusually warm end of October morning. The Rebels were in control from start to finish with Slinger scoring their lone touchdown in the last two minutes. The Rebels players were announced prior to kickoff having their names and numbers announced to an enthusiastic crowd. Hard to believe the season is over next week.
Wisconsin is “The Dairy State”. To say farming is big in Wisconsin would be an understatement but we are seeing more and more of the smaller family farms being sold to large “corporate” farms or being sold, the barns and silos leveled, land turned into neat rows of houses. I had the chance to visit the Klass farmstead in rural Ozaukee County this summer. I was taken around the farm by Denise Klass who was warm, friendly and patient…
My hometown Port Washington, WI has a huge bluff that towers high above the beaches that hug Lake Michigan 50 or more feet below. This area on top of the bluff is called Upper Lake Park. Along the bluff are several groupings of benches and picnic tables. Some groupings include one bench, some two, some a bench and a table, or two benches and a table. Many have a dedication plaque. It’s easy to imagine those of the past…
It was a great start to a breezy October morning. Waves were kicking up on Lake Michigan, Port Washington was waking up and the sunrise was fantastic. I’m happy to share a few images from the lake front. These were taken between Newport Shores and the Yacht Club in Port Washington, WI. Several of these images are available as prints.

On this morning the clouds were hanging low on Lake Michigan, creating what I like to call “drama”. As a landscape photographer (primarily) I’m always on the lookout for contrast of lights and dark and thus my favorite times to shoot are dawn, dusk(ish). I say ish to dusk because running into blue hour and shooting during the period shortly after sunset is often times magical. This morning I stopped in the Port Washington marina. From the parking lot…
This past Saturday evening (Oct 3rd 2015) I had the pleasure of meeting up with about 50 fellow photographers from the SE Wisconsin area. It was a grey, overcast evening with a few rain drops falling from the sky. Not ideal conditions but at the same time, presenting some opportunities, more on that in a moment. We began the walk at the Milwaukee Public Market and headed north, hugging the Milwaukee River towards the Rock Bottom restaurant. After the…
