The Forgotten Drink

Someone must have carried their drink out of the bar...



Made for an interesting photo even though its out of focus. I couldn't really back up to make it in focus due to other objects in the way...

What Was But Is No More

Do you ever look at a pole?...



I mean really look at a pole?...



Get all up close and circle the pole...



Don't be scurred...



Just walk right up and stare...



Because every pole is unique and has its own individual history. History of what was, but is no more.

Thirds

This photo was taken in between the Calhoun Square parking ramp and Calhoun Square. The skyway if you will. I was seeing thirds when I took this not quarters. Even though there are four clearly defined areas. The blue window is a third of the photo. The yellow window is a third of the photo. There are two remaining boxes to the bottom. Those two together make up the remaining third of the photo. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone. This is just how my mind works. Welcome to my world...

Everyday Uptown

I've been intentionally adding the human element into my photographs more and more lately. Still, it's hard for me to break from old habits. There is something interesting to me about taking photos that are void of any human life whatsoever. Especially if the area is generally heavily populated with people. Minus the car, Uptown looks like a ghost town here. At least to me it does...

Water Level

This photo was taken under the bridge while standing on Lake Calhoun. I guess the water level was frozen at 1.90 when I took this. I thought it looked interesting...
