Someone’s Watching Me
This is yet another photo that found me. I was walking back to the Photo/Media studio at Lake Area Technical Institute, where I work, and I was almost past the Cosmetology Department when I walked by this partially opened locker. I was all the way by the locker when I realized that there was a [...]
The Bagpiper – Dempsey’s Pub
This is a small detail from what I’m guessing may be one of the largest murals in Watertown. It resides at Dempsey’s Brewery Pub and Restaurant in Watertown, SD. The primary artist is Larry Nygaard and the pub is worth visiting. Speaking of worth visiting, how about clicking here to see a photo posted by [...]
Serpentine
I am about to take a week off from my blog, though ou won’t notice this because I am posting a week’s worth of photos today. Everyday, a new one will magically appear at midnight GMT. I am posting these photos with few comments, but you don’t come to this blog for the words of [...]
A Perfect Setting
Everything about a meal at Cathy & Bill Zs’ house it artful. (A word?) The table was set beautifully but the food was even better.
Bling!!!
As some of you know, I teach photography and English at Lake Area Technical institute. Yesterday, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, our school was named “A Finalist With Distinction” in the first ever Aspen Institute “Prize For Community College Excellence.” Though LATI didn’t win the grand prize (Valencia Community College of Orlando, [...]
Manipulated Reality
This was done as part of a teaching demonstration yesterday and while I have already posted a variation of this photo (click), I thought I’d post the doctored photo. Everything thing you see here is “real” and existed in the original photo. The difference between my original post and this one is that there is [...]
Presentation Is Everything
When Bill and Cathy Zubke cook, presentation is important. But the taste is really what it is all about. And I can tell you that this salad, prepared as part of an amazing meal at Lake Okoboji, was a brilliant way to start our feast.
Bullet Points
When I hear “bullet point” I think PowerPoint. But this is no PowerPoint presentation, of course. It is, however, a sort of a self portrait. Is the photographer trying to say something? Is there are dark meaning in this capture? Does it violate the rule of thirds? Are the lines and composition pre-meditated. Who knows? [...]
Same Old Farm, Different Day
Those familiar with the movie “Shawshank Redemption” know that today’s title is a bit of a paraphrase of an observation that Red makes in the movie. This is another HDR photo, and one of the secrets of good landscape HDR photos is good clouds. I got lucky on this particular day.
Late Summer Along Lake Oahe
This was taken on September 4, 2005. I do believe that in 2005, central South Dakota was dryer than “normal,” though that doesn’t necessarily mean much. I do know that the reservoir was very low in 2005. Maybe the Lake Oahe historians can help me on this one?
