End of Summer Holgas from Central Wisconsin

Some end of Summer Holgas....


Kayaking at Lake Eau Claire on Labor Day

Yes, it was rainy, but we managed to get in a picnic on a sandbar before it really started to rain.

I love boardwalks through the woods. This is from the Ice Age Trail near Mondeaux Dam.



 I have been really into yellow lately. As a flower and pretty much any color except sweaters circa 2001.... :) I also enjoy that final yellow burst of summer and sun before fall in winter. Fall yellow is such a different yellow than summer yellow.... to me anyway!

Birds on a wire along the road. Holgas don't pick up that much detail....

Friday Outtakes

I'm not gonna lie, this work week wasn't the most visually stimulating - hence all the spring photos. I am really glad it is Friday. Here are a couple photos from work that didn't run this week. They are from a disaster training event at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield.  It was fun to cover, and the highlight of the event was my first ride in an ambulance. Hopefully, I will never have to ride in one for real.

Medical personnel in the Saint Joseph's Hospital emergency room room work on "victim" Elijah Johnson, 5, of Wisconsin Rapids during disaster training.

Derek Pionke, a paramedic from Wisconsin Rapids, acts as a victim as Brian Barnes a paramedics with the Marshfield Fire and Rescue Department, calls in the "patient's" condition during the disaster drill at Saint Josephs's Hospital.

I wanted this to work ... but it just didn't. I liked how the kids were just at counter level and the way they were all standing in line with their legs crossed. But the colors and the fluorescent lights weren't doing it for for me. The actual photograph and what I wanted to see

This is what we ran in the paper. I don't miss eating school lunch, although I never did in elementary school except on waffle day. I was able to photograph some yellow though! I made it a point to find yellow after Monday's yellow mosaic when I realized that I don't  photograph yellow very often.

Have a great weekend!

Yellow

This weekend I went to Chicago to run the Shamrock Shuffle. While there, I also had a chance to visit the Chicago Art Institute. I try to get there every time I am in Chicago. This time there was an exhibit of William Eggleston - a photographer that I have always liked. His use of obvious and subtle color is amazing. The colors are so pure and vibrant, and the use is always exactly.... just so. I can't image any other color, usage, or placement of color in the photos. Here is the Eggleston Trust website: /http://www.egglestontrust.com/.

I think I would like to incorporate more yellow into my photographs. Yellow is a happy color and I should have more yellow in my life.
