Spring Sunset in Downtown Milwaukee

During one of our first spring-like April days in Milwaukee, I ventured to the lakefront for a few minutes during sunset. Took some stills with my 5dmk3 and processed them in Lightroom.

Downtown Milwaukee. Plus excellent use of foreground. Also, clouds.

Not sure what this plant is. But it’s backlit.

Not sure the official term on the “leaves” here, so I called them “Whisps.”

Downtown Milwaukee. Plus trees that haven’t decided it’s spring yet.

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.”

Reasons Be “Hands Up” Music Video

I’ve been directing an emotional music video for the title track off of Reasons Be debut EP “Hands Up.” Below are some pics of R.E.L (guitar, vocals) & Scotty Dickert (lead vocals), who make up Reasons Be, Billy Dickert (Scotty’s brother who did G&E and location scouting for the video), and myself (director and photographer for the video). Photos are at Lake Druid in Hartford, WI at a house we destroy in the video.
