Curved lines in the architecture of the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The artwork in the museum is breathtaking, but the building itself is a work of art. I could spend hours walking around the interior and exterior of the structure and not even look at what is hanging on the walls. This building is that beautiful. As Arthur Erickson said, "Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique, poetic, products of the heart." This building is certainly unique, poetic and sensual. Do yourself a favor, if you are ever near Milwaukee, you have got to go visit the art museum.

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." --Henry David Thoreau "Unless you paddle for the wave, you'll never know if you could catch it. But once you do... Ride it as long as you can. Love as long as you can." --Abigail Spencer This wave of blues lines and curves is simply a macro shot of a loosely rolled cloth ribbon on a white background. My goal was to capture an etherral image with a very little in focus. That way the spotlight of the image would be abstract, like a mood or emotion, rather than a tangible object. For the extremely narrow depth of field, I kept my f-stop on my 5omm (I used extension tubes) at f/1.8 and moved the camera in and out and around to find interesting shapes, shadows, implied motion and repeating patterns. I finished the image with very minimal post-processing. Just a wide crop - 3:1 aspect ratio - and color-correction, a touch of sharpening, and the normal border patrol (spot removal).
