Morning office: BEFORE the light comes up, the people begin to slave by artificial thoughts and fake illumination
October 4, 2009

As I stare into the sky I notice that I am not the only one who is starting a bit early this fine morning. The lights start to pop on, and I wonder what are all these people doing? Are they lawyers hard at work on a case. Are they designers getting ready for a deadline… It is a game I play often, looking up at buildings in the city…

The suncatcher: the life of a dreamer
September 30, 2009

Some people say that dreams are dead, but when the dreamers get together, they produce something so magical that even mother nature cannot do anything but stop and bow at their feet. These are the moments when dreamers dream… they reflect off the atmosphere in a warm explosion of splendor.

The Brigde: The Gap is LARGE: Fortune
September 26, 2009

So emotional, so crazy, so far away from myself. I can see a blurred view of myself from across the bridge, but I can’t seem to place a name with the face.

I run from the beauty that is behind me, into the city to be lost forever.
September 24, 2009

I run from the beauty that is behind me, into the city to be lost forever. The sunrise hurts my eyes, so warm and soft. I need something cold, something hard, something rough, something familiar.

The Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum is probably the most photographed structure in Milwaukee, however it is so beautiful that I am drawn to it. Especially in the morning when the light is warm… and dances on the white beauty of the structure. I am very excited for the show opening on Sept 26th – Andy Warhol, The Last Decade. It should be a great show, detailing a lot of unknown work by Warhol. I have been a fan of Warhol for a long time, and have read many books on him, and I think this show will do for others what a lot of research has done for me, and produce a sample of Warhol beyond the Campbells soup cans and Marilyn Monroe’s…
