Day 2559

Day 2559
sometimes the old pics
make me happy, sometimes sad,
but always thankful

Day 2493

 

day 2493

as with my photos,

I want to see things truly

and to accept them

Day 2466/Day 2467a/b

- – - – -

Day 2466

with thoughts and our tools,

we took to the walls, hanging

photos, ideas

- – - – -
Day 2467a
with fire and fervor,
the band leapt around the stage
their vibe, contagious

Day 2467b

Sitting in the dark,

I’m reminded of love found

sitting side-by-side

day 2338

day 2338

before the students -

sharing – hopefully moving

them to make photos

day 2263 (and photo-inspiration)

day 2263

I hurried ‘cross the bridge,

pausing to make a photo

of city workers

day 2220a/b (snow-storm, running +photo)

 

day 2220a

I achieved the peak,

the wind kicked up, and the world,

for seconds, was lost

 

day 2220b

running and photo

share the truism that success

comes in being there

 

day 2164

day 2164

my eyes skimmed over

the black-and-white photograph,

looking for dust specks

day 2162

day 2162

I stood in the dark,

listening to the music

and the washing prints

day 2125

day 2125

looking through the lens,

remind myself the limits

of what’s really seen

NON-haiku-ness, but still interesting

The VP Photo Gallery is quite unique in the gallery world, being one of the few galleries licensed to sell photos from the LIFE magazine archives.  The gallery also showcases photos from the National Geographic and Associated Press archives.  VP is located in Milwaukee’s Third Ward at 320 E. Buffalo Street.

The Outreach Department at Cardinal Stritch University offers many credit and non-credit classes for adults in the Milwaukee-area.  Photography, religious studies, computer studies and physical wellness are just a few of the areas where the Outreach department excels!

Troy Freund is a Milwaukee editorial and commercial photographer.  He specializes in on-location portraiture and is a photo-educator as well.
