Piece description from the artist
"Don't rush me just this once
I want to make this moment last
Slow down the pace, there's no hurry
I can't let another pass me by again
Let me be the one to say when I've had enough"
—from the song "Hold On" by Santana
This last little leaf was one of only a handful that still had not taken that last dying leap to the ground below – holding on, hoping to make the season last just a bit longer.
Shot on a cold, windy, and wet day in Brookfield, Wisconsin.
The image was 7 shots, focus stacked, and processed in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop utilizing plugins from On1, Nik Effects, and Topaz Labs.
Day 58 of 365

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.
