Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Group Challenges # 3

Here we are with another Group Challenge.  This weeks topic, Something Borrowed.  This week, Michelle & Brett joined in again.  Mindy's image captures an antique chair that was borrowed for the shoot.  I captured Emily (sister-in-law) enjoying coffee out on the deck in a borrowed men's dress shirt & reading a borrowed book.  Brett's is the money shot, haha!Michelle shot some books at the Public Library. Onto the pics!

Group Challenges # 2

Hello again!  Welcome to Group Challenge # 2, this week topic is: OLD.  Everyone took a very different approach to this topic.  That is the lovely thing about having a vague topic, it brings out all sorts of different pictures.  Brett & Michelle joined us again this week along with a new comer, Tony Wauters who recently just got into the DSLR game, so watch him grow as a photographer.  Brief description of the shots, Mindy went to a car show in Delafield (jealous!), I shot my mother's old 35mm Minolta camera (which after playing with it, I'd love to try shooting sometime), Brett went to Heritage Hill Park, Michelle shot her Grandmother's Wedding Dress and Tony shot his down in Kohler, WI.

Hope that you enjoyed all of these shots.  We will be back next week with another group challenge, stay tuned!

Group Challenges # 1

Hello all!  We have changed up our normal weekly challenge to include some friends of ours that have been bitten by the Photog-bug as well.  This is not a contest, it is just a bunch of friends shooting the same topic from different perspectives to keep our creativity flowing & to help one another advance.  Our first group topic is, BLUE!  As you will see, everyone took a different approach to this and all came out with different but stunning pictures.  You can go to Brett Nooyen's site & check out some of his other shots.  And Michelle Allard joined in as well, who was so grateful to borrow me her wide-angle lens for my last car shoot I just did.  Enough of the talking, I know you are here to see pictars, so here you go:
