Day at the Lakefront

[Hookswords]

Greetings! I recently bought a digital camera, nothing to fancy but nice. I am by no means a photographer, but I'm having fun with it. It's more of a purchase for aid in design and illustration work. I digress. I went down to lake Michigan in Milwaukee today to play with different functions of the camera...

Ok, so...I guess these are scarecrows... for the bird problem...

Juxtaposition is my favorite part of photography

Calatrava Art Museum. Sadly it was too windy for them to open the wings

There is a Dale Chihuly Piece hanging inside the museum. I met Chihuly when I was in high school. He's a cool guy, little odd like most great artists. I met him when he was gaining fame. He's a big name now. He wears an eye patch due to an injury. I always thought that was odd. One of the world's premiere glass blowers...wears an eye patch....if I were him I'd make some crazy glass eyes...maybe that's just me

I'm a sucker for scaffolding. This is out my sun roof at a red light.
