I first noticed this tree when I moved to the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne about a year and a half ago. The bare and modern appearance of this tree stump evoked a sense of sad fascination in my heart. I love how blocky and stripped the various branches look. It almost appears to be a work of modern art!

I took this photo on Tuesday August the 7th. I had been staring at the tree for months, wondering what made it look the way it did. When we went to photograph the tree, the woman who owned it informed us that it was one of the oldest trees in the city. This ancient willow had recently been hit by lightning, but seemed to be bouncing back nicely.

I took a picture of this rather bored looking server at the Three Rivers Festival. I went with Chris that day, and we had a lot of fun walking around and taking pictures of all the interesting people. This was also the first time I had been to the Three Rivers festival.

I’ve added a new section to my website for Street Photography: Candid photographs of people on the streets and other public places. This photograph, one of many that I made at the Three Rivers Festival 2008 in Fort Wayne, Indiana last month, is the first for this new project.
This little boy was arguing with his father because he wanted to play in the fountain at Headwaters Park for five more minutes.
