Wisconsin River on a Frosty Morning – Prairie du Sac, WI Photographer
This is how the world three blocks from our house looked this morning. Normally we just drive by it without paying much attention. Today (even though it was close to zero F) I decided to stop and just look. I need to do this more often

A Little Summer in Winter – Sauk City, WI Photographer
2011 was definitely a year filled with travels for our family. Winter finally arrived with some snow to Wisconsin and we just came back from an amazing trip to much warmer parts of the world. Hopefully the warmth we soaked in will last until the spring Visiting the Caribbean was on my wish list for a long while and recently we had an opportunity to cross that off. Well, actually not fully because we all definitely want to go back and see more but I am so happy and grateful to be able to see a small part of it. Beaches lined up with palm trees, clear blue water, interesting sea shells, snorkeling in coral reef, swimming with the rays, tropical jungle, exotic animals, new cultures… the list could go on and on. The kids called it an “epic vacation” and the only thing I regret is that I didn’t have any decent waterproof camera. I am a little ashamed to admit that most of our water related adventures were captured only with a single use plastic point and shoot. I haven’t developed that film yet Here are a few images from the islands taken when there was no risk of getting wet…
After returning back to New Orleans we stayed a little longer there before heading back home. This was just enough time to see The French Quarter, full of beautiful old historic buildings, iron balconies, artists, eclectic shops, great food and and of course live music. A few hours wasn’t nearly enough to experience it all but it gave us a taste of that amazing city.
I was trying to set up the camera for a photo of my family when a kind passerby offered to take that picture for me. One of very few with me in front of the lens Thank you!
I am sure we will be back in New Orleans to explore more. And on the way back (while driving 60m/hr ) I was able to capture this last Louisiana image…
Fall Colors, Captured – Sauk Prairie, WI Photographer
Leaves are all gone and the snow is right around the corner. I thought I would share with you a few images that I captured back in October. Here are some last beautiful Wisconsin fall colors, my barefoot hikers and mysterious berries we found while hiking. They looked tempting, delicious, juicy and very big (2in in diameter). However since we didn’t know what they are, we just left them on the tree. If you do know if these are edible, please share and I will tell you where to find them next year

Wisconsin Winter – Prairie du Sac WI, Photographer
We are only in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, but it starts to feel like it’s been around too long already… After major Midwest blizzard seeming to prolong winter forever we decided to explore the countryside looking for beauty in the midst of our frozen land. And here is what we found…

Taking the Time in Baxter’s Hollow – Sauk Prairie, WI Photographer
I had a busy week with several sessions to process. I could have easily got lost in editing all day but fortunately the kids didn’t let me They convinced me to go for a hike. The day was beautiful and hot so we decided to head down to cool and shaded Baxter’s Hollow, one of our local State Natural Areas in Sauk County, WI. So good to slow down sometimes and just appreciate… Here are my two explorers in action.

Back from New Mexico – Prairie du Sac, WI Photographer
I just got back from a fun-filled family road trip to Red River, NM. We had rain and storms and even hail there but I did manage to capture some of the beautiful scenery. Nature is so different there, so is the architecture. A lot of inspiring places for a photographer and every day was bringing something new: white water rafting, hiking, hot springs, ancient Taos Pueblo. We even managed to make a day trip to Colorado to see the tallest dunes in North America. Still sorting out New Mexico photos, but will leave you with several images from this amazing trip. Hope you’ll enjoy them!

Hemlock Draw – Nature Photography, Sauk County WI
Another beautiful weekend, another perfect day for a hike and another discovery. This time we decided to explore Hemlock Draw State Natural Area in Sauk County, WI. A path along Honey Creek was too easy to follow for the kids and they preferred walking in the water instead. After an hour of slow hiking we got to a huge sandstone rock wall with a small waterfall. Wild and amazing view… Pictures can’t truly capture it but of course I took several anyway Enjoy!

Spring Hike – Nature Photography, McGilvra Woods and Pewit’s Nest, Baraboo, WI
Another beautiful spring Sunday, perfect for a family hike. We were running out of new places until I found this DNR website with all State Natural Areas listed by county. It was a true revelation to discover that there is sooo much to see yet! Let me know if you’ve been to some of these and share your impressions. Most of them are hidden gems that very few people visit. Wild and gorgeous…

Frosty Mornings – Sauk Prairie, WI
The world looked magical today on Wisconsin River in Prairie du Sac. The trees covered with frost seemed enchanted. So I rushed home from my early morning meeting, grabbed my camera and went in search of pictures. Here are some of them.

First Snow Day – Sauk Prairie WI
The kids were ecstatic when they saw all the snow today and found out that the schools in Sauk Prairie were canceled. I managed to sneak out before them to capture a few images with the snow still intact. The world seemed so peaceful…
