A Couple of Great Shots From Wisconsin
On November 7, 2005 by thedudeIt’s not that I have a soft spot for cute kids in leaf piles. It’s just that this is the sort of picture parents tend to e-mail to their victims friends. In fact, some of these images are pretty good – like this one. This adorable shot of Leah was taken by her Dad, Jeff

A Roast With the Rowes
On October 19, 2005 by thedudeJust to be sure we’d had our fill of MEAT on our trip, Steve prepared a huge slab of bison for dinner with Jim and Wendy Rowe on Friday. He paired the meat with a few rare and delightful reds. Yum!

Baraboo Circus Museum
On October 18, 2005 by thedudeAnother destination never seen by thedude or Kelly is the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The museum is loaded with colorful and often hilarious circus posters from the past. Out back there are two large warehouses filled with meticulously restored circus wagons. Cool!

Devil’s Lake
On October 17, 2005 by thedudeAs I mentioned earlier, the fall colors probably peaked a week after we left Wisconsin, but since neither of us had ever been to Devil’s Lake, we decided to make the drive anyway. It turned out to be the perfect way to spend a Thursday afternoon. There were just a handful of people at the

Chicago
On October 15, 2005 by thedudeWe visited Chicago on Wednesday. Steve, Kelly and thedude started the day at the opulent Four Seasons Chicago Luxury Hotel. The oysters and sushi were OK, but we give the view and atmosphere five stars. Next, Kelly dragged us to Water Tower Place where we peered through windows at a whole lot of things we

On October 14, 2005 by thedudeTuesday was a busy day with an outstanding lunch at B.J. Wentger’s in Burlington, a short tour of Lake Como aboard the Kimpossible and finally a prime rib dinner with old friends at Eric and Bonnie’s fabulous estate. Kelly had a chance to witness the heart-warming hippotherapy program offered on the property before we warmed

Dinner with Chef Dieter
On October 13, 2005 by thedudeIt should come as no surprise that food and wine have played a significant role in our trip so far. We had an excellent Alsacienne meal at the Chef’s Corner in Williams Bay. Dieter provided the fine cuisine, Steve supplied numerous bottles of rare wine, and we finished the evening off with a bottle of

Some Things Never Change
On October 10, 2005 by thedudeWhat trip would be complete without a visit to John’s Main Event? It is always great to see all of you. A special thanks to Kalvin, Scott, Julie, Lexy and Lynne for going the extra mile to be there. I wish we could see each other much more often!

Jumpin’ Jack Chestnut
On August 16, 2005 by thedudeFrom time to time friends send me fabulous images. This is definitely one of them. Meet Jack. The black and white is a nice touch don’t you think? It really sets off the metallic costume from its leafy surroundings. Most excellent costume and photography by Siobhan Chestnut. Fabulous!

Steve’s Stude’s
On November 20, 2004 by thedudeSteve with two of his three beloved Studebakers. The black one is a 1962 Studebaker Grand Turismo – one of just 7700 ever made. (Yes, that’s Kelly in the back seat.) The other is a 1958 Silver Hawk. Steve also owns a blue Commander, (1962?) but it was not able to make it to the

I’ve Been Horribly Lazy…
On October 22, 2004 by thedudeIt seems like months since we last traveled to Wisconsin. I made the mistake of shooting more than 800 pictures, and the thought of prepping them for the blog has been daunting, to say the least! I’ll see if I can get a few shots up from time to time. Thanks soooo much to our

Wisconsin – Again
On October 2, 2004 by thedudeI took Kelly with me on my second trip to Wisconsin this year. We had such a wonderful time that we’re just about ready to move there. (I know – before we do that I need to bring her to Wisconsin in February…) We spent much of our time in Williams Bay, but also visited

See if You Can Guess the Topic of This Post!
On August 21, 2004 by thedudeI’m guessing that these shots were taken at Christmas, based on Dee Dee’s sweater and on the fact that the Blade is seen playing the accordian on other shots from this roll of film. Does anyone remember the year?

Dave and Kalvin in the “Bad Ride”
On August 13, 2004 by thedudeOk, from time to time, I’m gonna post images that have significance to just a few people – mostly from my illustrious past. I aplogize to those of you who find this stuff boring or adolescent or both. It has meaning to ME, and, well, that’s what this site is about, right? So, here are

Returning to Wisconsin Next Month
On August 12, 2004 by thedudeKelly and I will be back in Wisconsin from September 23rd through the 29th. Woo-hoo! As always, we have a lot to cram into this short trip. I’ll be bringing all of my photo gear because I have been asked to photograph my good friends Huns and Dr. Beeker. We’ll be using the shots on

Scanning Old Images Again
On August 8, 2004 by thedudeDue to popular demand, I have begun to scan my old slides and negatives again. In the process, I am coming across images of which I have no memory whatsoever – like this one. Can anyone tell me where I was when I shot this picture of Jeff in September or October of 1989?
