Piece description from the artist
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
—T.S. Eliot
This is how I see my son quite often these days – running to and fro, exploring everything he sees. Pushing limits is built in to the DNA of a toddler. Now sometimes that can be a challenge, but it is certainly an absolute joy to watch him go. And I'll do my best to not slow him down too much on his daily forays into the unknown.
I took this shot on the roof top deck of the Milwaukee County War Memorial / Milwaukee Art Museum building along the lake in Milwaukee. Image courtesy of the best camera I had with me – my Droid Turbo cell phone.
Day 295 of my 365 photo a day project.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros – it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo.
Much of what I shoot is done spontaneously without preconceived thought or plan. I let what is around me dictate what is photographed.
And the shooting is only the first step – a jumping off point. I take the raw images and create what I see in my mind’s eye. Coaxing out textures present in the shot – sometimes adding them. Enhancing the contrast of light and dark to create the mood and emotions I felt and feel. In the end, it’s all about listening to my heart and mind and creating a visual representation of what I feel the moment the shutter is released.
I'm a native Texan currently living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my lovely wife and son.
