Sunrise In the Beginning

October 31, 2016

Sunrise, Halloween morning, October 31, 2016 in Port Washington, WI, more specifically, Veterans Memorial Park. I call this image, “In the Beginning” for several reasons. Sunrise marks the beginning of a new day. But this particular location also boasts a outlet of some type of water pipe which dispatches rain water into the lake. I’m not really sure about the details but it makes a great location to make images of Lake Michigan, the Port Washington lighthouse. Images Available

What a great experience! The MPTV Great TV Auction crew interviewed me at the Port Exploreum interactive museum in Port Washington WI on Friday, February 19, 2016. I’ve never done anything like this. Well, I did an interview with a local TV reporter a few years ago so I guess that’s somewhat the same but that was really an impromptu thing in which the Mayor called me up and asked if I could meet a Milwaukee TV News reporter…

Winter Beach in Port Washington Wisconsin by James Meyer Photography It finally warmed up, in a manner of speaking, to a delightful 20 degrees. After many days of temperatures in the single digits and wind chills well below zero, 20 degrees with no wind felt almost balmy, almost. What do you do in warm weather? That’s right, head to the beach. This morning at South Beach in Port Washington, Wisconsin, the lake was absolutely still. Spooky still. No waves,…

The West Slip in Port Washington WI is one of my favorite places to shoot a sunrise. I like using the framing of the buildings in the composition of the shot. Fortunately, the buildings also provide a good wind break which is handy on chilly mornings. This particular morning it was about 17 degrees at sunrise but the sunrise was just too beautiful and I had to venture out and catch it. Shop my gallery!

The Hank Aaron State Trail is a popular and fantastic public walkway that follows the downtown Milwaukee lakefront, near the Henry W Maier Festival Park west past Miller Park. In fact, you can see many important Milwaukee landmarks along it’s 12-mile route. I “discovered” the trail section along the Milwaukee lakefront on New Years Day, 2016. I actually felt quite foolish when seeing how simple the access was and how magnificent the views right along the lakefront. Having lived…

December Milwaukee Lakefront Walk

An unusually warm December in Milwaukee continued with highs around 50 degrees mid-month. I couldn’t think of a better reason to take an early evening walk along the public path behind the Harbor House restaurant on the lakefront. Only one couple was out at that time, otherwise the area was empty. Too bad, it was a great night. Hope you enjoy the images. Shop prints at my online gallery

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…
