When the Night Falls

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

Francis Hardy Gallery   

Nowhere in the Midwest are the arts more intertwined with the life of a community than Door County and nowhere in Door County is the passion to connect the arts to the community greater than at the Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, WI.

The Hardy Gallery is the premier non-profit organization in Door County with the sole purpose of promoting and encouraging local artists, inspiring local youth in creative ways, supporting emerging artists and celebrating the Peninsula's veteran artists. The Gallery Dock holds a lot of meaning for Ephraim residents and visitors alike, not to mention the decades of boaters who would paint their respective vessel's name on the clapboard siding.

Door County is named after the strait between the Door Peninsula and Washington Island. The dangerous passage, which is now scattered with shipwrecks, was known to early French explorers and local Native Americans. Because of the natural hazards of the strait, where the waters of Green Bay meet the open body of Lake Michigan, they gave it the French appellation Porte des Morts Passage, which in English means the "Door to the Way to Death," or simply, "Death's Door."

Eta 2019: I am no longer listed on DeviantArt. 

DeviantArt (stylized as deviantART abbreviated as dA) is an online community showcasing various forms of user-made artwork. First launched on August 7, 2000 by Scott Jarkoff, Matthew Stephens, Angelo Sotira and others, deviantArt, Inc. is headquartered in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California, United States.

DeviantArt aims to provide a platform for any artist to exhibit and discuss works. Works are organized in a comprehensive category structure, including traditional art, photography, digital art, literature, Flash, filmmaking, skins for applications, operating system customization utilities and others, along with extensive downloadable resources such as tutorials and stock photography. Additional utilities include journals, polls, groups and portfolios.

As of August 2010, the site consists of over 14.5 million members, and over 100 million submissions, and receives around 140,000 submissions per day. In addition, deviantArt users submit over 1.4 million "favorites" and 1.5 million comments daily. The domain deviantart.com attracted at least 36 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study. As of July 2011, it is the 13th largest social network with 3.8 million weekly visits.

Even with the large audience of artists and viewers, it is easy to target other photographers via the array of groups established by genre and interests. One can offer their work for sale which is printed by dA. I've had 3 - 16 x 16 giclée prints made by them – the quality is excellent and economical as well!

Remnants of hurricane Sandy on Lake Michigan shores

Coastal devastation on the Atlantic seaboard shore,

they had known it was coming and where it was going to go.

Making a left turn when blocked by the Greenland high pressure ridge,

and than a hard right being steered by an approaching cold front.

The trajectory forecast was made five days ahead of time,

A natural disaster or geo-engineered?

The wind fields were greater than 1,000 miles wide, 

and reached the southern half of the Lake Michigan shoreline.

As seen at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay in Wisconsin.

These images are from the Messer/Mayer Grist Mill in Richfield, Wisconsin. Kathy and I visited here during their annual art fair. Another treat was the tour of the Ebling Farm restoration. The Richfield Historical Society has done an excellent job with the farm house and the artifacts inside.

I am always fascinated with close up images of gears.

Sydney Hih is gone!

Demolition progress

When textures and photos coalesce...

While I enjoy creating interesting, thought provoking and artistic photographs; I also enjoy making them "stop to get noticed" with colorful textures that make them pop.

This year started with yet another collection of images I call WIP (works in progress), which differentiates with the collection of last years WIP. Individual chapters for each year usually start with the opportunity to be outside on a pleasant day. This image is of piling being driven in to the Milwaukee Riverbed, to form the foundation for the new bridge on Juneau Avenue. This expedition commenced with going downtown to see if Sydney Hih was still there - since it was (still there), I was pleasantly surprised to find this plethora of steel beams rising to the occasion.

I enjoy photographing nekkid trees. This was taken at Catalano Square in the Third Ward when nobody was looking.

The demise of a shattered building within the Horlick complex in Racine, WI.

The Wisconsin DNR side of the Horicon Marsh.

Here is a slide show of more coalesced images.

Here is the "Works" on my website.

Enjoy!
