actual bluesky challenge: post your favorite work of art from fifty years before you were born.Claude Verlinde, 1927
Claude Verlinde, 1927. A woman, sleeping and covered by bedclothes, flying above a city. Folded pages swirl around her, and seem to be covering the ground below.

2024 #Milwaukee #photography
The decagon prism of Locust Court Apartments reflected in a frozen Milwaukee River and turned upside down. Aerated areas of the ice distort the image like some sort of crispy fog

Made crème brûleé for no reason. Some people caramelize the diacritical marks under the broiler, but I find a blowtorch easier to control.

I really should shoot on my CL more. It's such a tiny, solid joy of a camera. Also a bit of an oddity, being a Minolta with a German accent and glass.

(Peleng 6mm on APS-C)
The Milwaukee skyline on a foggy night, seen from the top of a parking garage to the west of downtown. The horizon is curved from the fisheye lens, suggesting a tiny planet.

More Peleng on Full Frame
The Wisconsin Avenue viaduct passing over the Menominee River near the Miller Brewery. The photo has the soft glow and rich colors of a long exposure night shot The Milwaukee Art Museum shot pointing straight up with nearly a 180 degree field of view. A high pressure sodium horizon encircles the Calatrava structure, which has been distorted info a more O'Keefian shape

Self portrait 2025 in Studio Les Ordures - my musical lair.

Shot on a 6dII with my beloved Peleng 6mm where it produces a circular image owing that camera's full frame sensor. #photography

Self-portrait, 2018 #photography

(30 second night exposure through a Peleng 6mm fisheye, in which I posed, moved, then posed again)
Two ghostly Aubreys, standing on a concrete path beside the Milwaukee river. Each Aubrey is blurred and transparent, owing to the long exposure time. In the upper right hand corner, Hampton ave passes overhead, bound for the Brady Street area.

A row of apartment power meters which someone has tagged "AVIK" on the top half with some odd symbols and "HAMPY" on the bottom. They are affixed to pale gray wooden siding with peeling paint, somewhere in the Brewer's Hill Neighborhood

October 2021 #Madison #photography #teddywedgers
The storefront of Madison Wisconsin's Teddywedgers breakfast spot glowing in the fog. The storefront is at the point of a flatiron-style building. This was an amazing night. I was wandering around after some car club shenanigans because it was 70 degrees at 3am in October. Tons of other people were doing the same - all of State Street was a gentle impromptu party that night. I'll say this for Wisconsin - when it's unusually pleasant, it's as if the whole state took MDMA together. I walked around until sunup, talking to strangers and taking photographs.
