An excellent way to close out my journalism degree from UW-Milwaukee with a photography award from Milwaukee Press Club. Thanks to the Press Club and to all of my instructors!

Furrow Release Party Wednesday Night
UW-Milwaukee has an undergraduate literature magazine called Furrow. I sent them a few poems and one got published. The release event takes place Wednesday, May 8 at Art Bar in Milwaukee. Check out the full details here. Reading! Poetry! Live!
Brief Poem: Opening Doors
Most of my poems lately have been too long to post as pictures. Here’s one of the recent shorter ones. Occurred to me while walking around campus, wrote on my phone when I arrived to the next class. Click on the right of the photo to advance to the next part.
Film Photographs from Photography Class
I’ve been taking an intro photography class at UW-Milwaukee. Each class in this, my last semester, is an elective. Poetry, drawing, architecture, photography.
Anyhow, the class has so far been taught entirely in black-and-white film. The above are my most recent snaps for an assignment, this time the theme was to capture intersections, in the broad definition of the word.
Below is the first assignment for which I made printed photographs. I’m pretty happy with how the nighttime one turned out.
I wonder, in a few years, looking back at these, what kinds of criticisms I’ll have. For now, I’m enjoying practicing the seeing of a compelling moment and then trying to capture a photograph of it.
Photography Award from Milwaukee Press Club
I’m pleased to report that my article about deer poaching in Wisconsin has received a photography award from the Milwaukee Press Club (the picture below is one of several photographs included in the article). Click here to check out the full article. I won’t be too hurt if you skim it for the pictures. 😉
Poetry Reading Wednesday Night
I haven’t read poems in public in quite sometime. Freddy at Vegetarian Alcoholic Press invited me to join for the Lit Fam series in Milwaukee so I’m going to dive in. Details on this here flyer. Have to get some practice in for putting my next book out after I graduate in spring. Come for the fantastic beer selection – stay for the rampant poetry!
Snapshots from the Flat Out Friday Race Load-in
I was at the Flat Out Friday race in Milwaukee and took a few pictures of the load-in. Such a strange sight seeing all of these high performance race bikes waiting around in the cold like garage-less castaways while their owners waited in line to get checked in. Bikes lined up, leaning against anything for the entire block. Flathead Harley-Davidsons, Ducati singles, augmented late model dirt bikes, and of course a slew of Sportster hooligan race bikes. Check out the pictures here on SIDEBURN Magazine blog.
