City by Night



This is the skyline of Milwaukee as seen at night from open water on Lake Michigan. The reflection of the skyline on the water is something I wanted to capture, but wasn't able to successfully.

Neon



A prominent Neon sign glows with the twilight sky as a backdrop. This picture has an eerie quality to it, in spite of it being in wide open public spaces.

Tow



This picture is of an airplane tow that is used to back the plane out of its parking area and into the taxiway. It is pretty cool to see something that literally picks up the front end of an airplane every 35 minutes.

Airplane Advisory



The contrast between the glossy finish of the decal and the textured seat back of this airline sight grabbed my attention. It also made me wonder if anyone actually reads this, though they definitely see it.

Lamp



Although this picture is obviously of a lamp mounted on a wall, I cannot get the word 'sentinel' out of my head when I look at it. The lamp itself is beautifully created with a wrought iron frame and glass panels.

Glazed



I took this picture of one tile among thousands on a wall of a swimming pool area. The level of detail that goes into making a single tile is amazing; though each tile seems inconsequential in itself, it lends to the beauty of the bigger picture. Something like humans I guess.

Children


There seems to be nothing more child like than to be able to run into a colony of roosting seagulls, without having to worry about knowing if they will attack.

King of the Hill


Someone put some mighty effort into making a sandcastle that in all fairness looked amazing. Along come some kids and roughhouse around it, leaving the sandcastle no more. Though I didn't like seeing the sandcastle come down, I enjoyed the innocent fun the kids seemed to be having.

Brass Lampshade


This picture is of a lampshade that I found at a small pub. Little though the lampshade was, it seemed to brighten up the place by just being there.
