| I was raised and schooled in Wisconsin -- and still follow UW and Marquette sports and try to keep up with the Packers, Brewers and Bucks from afar -- but I've lived in Indianapolis now for most of my life. I became interested in photography while taking classes for my journalism major in college, back when film ruled the industry. I've pursued it in earnest since shortly after the dawn of the digital era. My general-interest photo blog, "Photo Potpourri" (see link below), launched in December 2008.
I enjoy photo "projects" or "essays," as evidenced by my neighborhoods, communities, concerts, benches and reflective imagery galleries. I also like photography for fun (see the Tines art gallery). Photography can be a lot of things to lots of people. My hope is that it rewarded you for taking the time to stop here. | | Location | Indiana, United States |

| | Winter 2010 | | Indianapolis was hit with a snowstorm, featuring wet, heavy flakes, on Feb. 5, 2010. Anywhere from 5 to 8 inches fell, depending on where you lived. The snowfall images in this folder -- the ones where skies are gray and overcast -- were taken in the early afternoon of Feb. 5, about four hours into the snowfall. The aftermath images were taken early afternoon the next day, Feb. 6, when skies were sunny and bright. |
| | Indianapolis Monumental Marathon and Half-Marathon | | The second annual Indianapolis Monumental Marathon and Half-Mararthon was run Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, starting on West Washington Street in front of the State Office complex and finishing just west of the state capitol on Robert D. Orr Plaza. These images are from that shoot. |
| | College Basketball - Butler vs. DePauw | | This exhibition game was Butler's first of the 2009-10 season and played on Nov. 1, 2009, at Hinkle Fieldhouse on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis. The Bulldogs won, 77-45. |
| | College Football - Franklin vs. Trine | | Franklin College, Franklin, Ind., came from 13 points behind late in the third quarter to defeat Trine University (Angola, Ind.) 30-29 at Faught Stadium, Franklin, on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009. Trine had not lost a regular-season game since October 2007 and entered the game ranked among the top 25 Division III college teams in the country. The win improved Franklin's record to 2-1 and dropped Trine to 2-1. These images were taken at that game, using a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens equipped with a 1.4 extender. |
| | Irvington Annual Walk in the Park | | Each year, on the second Sunday of August, the Irvington Guild of Artists, in conjunction with the Irvington Farmers Market, holds a festival of arts, crafts and music in Ellenberger Park, Indianapolis. These images were taken at two Walk in the Park festivals -- Aug. 13, 2006, and Aug. 10, 2008. |
| | Communities - Metamora IN | | Metamora in southeastern Indiana has built and nurtured its profile around the Whitewater Canal, established in 1838 and one of Indiana's 12 historic sites. It has what the town claims to be the only operating wooden aqueduct in the United States, a grist mill still in operation and a quaint but thriving merchants district of boutiques and novelty shops. The annual Christmas Walk is a monthlong observance in which the community dresses up the town in lights and decorations, toasting the season to be merry. These images were taken from visits to Metamora Dec. 5, 2009 (daytime), and Dec. 12, 2009 (nighttime). |
| | Communities - Franklin, Ind. | | Images from the city of Franklin, Ind., the seat of Johnson County, which is directly south of Indianapolis, the virtual center of Indiana. |
| | Concerts - Living Proof | | Living Proof is a seven-piece Indianapolis R&B band. On the evening of Jan. 30, 2010, at the Athenaeum Theatre in downtown Indianapolis, Living Proof recorded a video of the title track of their second album, "Feel Good Music," and followed that with a rollicking live show for a packed audience. These images are from the video shoot and the live show. |
| | Concerts - Luke Austin Daugherty | | Luke Austin Daugherty and his band performs at the Art Bank Studios and Gallery's triannual "Robbin' the Bank" program that is part of the First Friday Art Tours along the Massachusetts Avenue cultural district in downtown Indianapolis. These images were taken at the group's performance on Sept. 4, 2009, distinguished by audience-participation painting-by-feet-while dancing on a canvas spread out in front of the bandstand. Eventually, even a band member participated in the community canvas for charity (the Arthritis Foundation). |
| | Concerts - Epic Fail | | Epic Fail is a young rock band from the Eastside of Indianapolis that thrives on performing in front of people. The band played at a back-to-school rally at Garfield Park in Indianapolis on Aug. 1, 2009, with special lead vocalist Julie Young joining them for three covers -- AC/DC's "You Shook Me," Heart's "Barracuda" and Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll." |
| | Concerts - whoa!tiger | | On May 16, 2009, Indianapolis rock band whoa!tiger performed in the Johnson Memorial Hospital parking lot for a fundraiser of the Franklin Relay for Life, the American Cancer Society's signature annual awareness and fundraising activity that draws upon the whole community to participate and support. |
| | Concerts - Cathy Morris - 06/18/05 | | Cathy Morris, an electric jazz violinist based in Indianapolis, and her band gave three free late-afternoon concerts in the Sunken Garden of Garfield Park, Indianapolis, in the summer of 2005. These images are from the first show in that "Music in the Garden" series, held on Saturday, June 18, 2005. The stage faced the west at a time when the sun stared Cathy right in the face. About a half-hour into the show, an audience member loaned her some sunglasses, which she wore the remainder of the performance. |
| | Concerts - Cathy Morris - 07/15/06 | | In 2006, Cathy returned to the Sunken Garden for one late-afternoon, free concert, held on July 15, 2006. This time her ensemble included her brother, keyboardist Daryl Spurlock, bassist Steve Dokken and drummer Adam White. |
| | Concerts - Cathy Morris - 08/29/09 | | Cathy performed at the White River State Park amphitheater the evening of Aug. 29, 2009. Accompanying her were brother Daryl Spurlock on keyboards, Steve Dokken on bass and Greg Artry on drums. Two things made the show stand out: A series of guest jazz performers joined her on stage for various numbers (no images of them) ... and a spontaneous bit of dancing, instigated by Cathy, in the green open area in front of the stage during an instrumental number early in the program. |
| | Concerts - Wright Brothers Band | | The Wright Brothers Band, based in Indianapolis, Ind., performed a free concert at the MacAllister Center of Performing Arts amphitheater in Garfield Park, Indianapolis, on Aug. 19, 2006. These images are from that show. |
| | Concerts - Philharmonic Orchestra of Indianapolis | | The Philharmonic Orchestra of Indianapolis performed a free concert at the MacAllister Center of Performing Arts amphitheater in Garfield Park, Indianapolis, on June 19, 2008. These images are from that performance. |
| | Bees -- nature's pollinators | | They're doing their thing, flocking to the few remaining blooms that survived a mid-October frost: my backyard broccoli plants. This shoot actually started innocently: I was simply trying to gauge the quality of bokeh on my 105mm macro lens at its widest apertures. But once I started shooting, I couldn't stop. If you're interested in reading the full story on the shoot, visit my blog post on it at http://photopotpourri.blogspot.com/2009/10/send-in-clouds-er-bees.html |
| | Benches | | A photographic perspective of benches and chairs |
| | Downtown Canal - Indianapolis | | The nicely landscaped Downtown Canal is many things to many people, who use it for walks, runs, roller-blading, paddleboating (including corporate team paddleboat races) ... and inspirational photography. |
| | Reflective photography | | A look at the various reflections -- and reflective surfaces -- that can furnish interesting photographs. |
| | Flora and Foliage | | Macro images of tulips, orchids and other flowers as well as eye-catching foliage |
| | Spring Bulb Show - 2009 | | These images were taken March 31, 2009, at the annual Spring Bulb Show at the Garfield Park Conservatory. |
| | Winterscapes | | The beauty and elegance of winter snowfall, including the deceptively dominant graytones in true color photographs, is the subject of this album. |
| | Autumn Vistas | | Displays and arrays of brilliant fall colors, including a handul of spectacular backlighted trees. |
| | Autumn Reds | | The color red is a somewhat overlooked hue in the brilliant autumn spectrum. Not so here. Autumn reds are featured in this collection of photographs. |
| | Architecture & Buildings | | Verdant greens, tapestry-patterned skies and ocean blues aren't always what define beautiful landscapes. The marvel of architecture and spectacle of distinguished buildings plays a key role, too. |
| | Tines art | | Images developed and inspired by tine figures (forks). |
| | Miscellaneous | | A collection of images that don't fit into the other categories. I'm likely to be tweaking -- adding and subtracting -- the contents of this folder quite frequently, so ... check back often. |
