AVP Milwaukee

Milwaukee really comes alive in the summer. Below are photos taken when the AVP (domestic pro beach volleyball tour) stopped at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee July 4 weekend. With John Hyden/Tri Bourne and Kerri Walsh Jennings/April Ross being the champions. See all the photos here.

Juneau Photos – Night Walk

Walkin’ around on a beautiful night in Milwaukee and took a few pictures of stuff near and in Juneau Park. Juneau Park overlooks Lake Michigan and Veteran’s Park from atop the hill going up to it.

Images shot on my Canon 5Dmkiii and processed in Lightroom (the first also minor touch-up in Photoshop).

JUNEAU PHOTOS:
I was going to conquer this tower, but that statue beat me to it.

Lights. Camera. Still image.

This ladder is yellow IRL.

These look safe.

New “Milwaukee Blues” Photo

Snowy Cass Median V's
Above is a new photo for my “Milwaukee Blues” Photo Series.

The image is an HDR black-and-white split-toned image of a median I’ve shot before, but now with blue snow instead of sky. It’s a night scene in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, WI. The bench shadows and bird statues are both in V formation, giving the photo its title, “Snowy Cass Median V’s.”
