Making the most of my time in the valley. Taken on a Canon PowerShot digital camera, starting in May 2010 and going through autumn.

Underneath the Hwy 29 bridge in Spring Valley, Wisconsin, capturing the shaded ground and grassy riverbank of the Eau Galle River. A calm, shallow waterway flows under the concrete bridge, its green-painted steel support beams forming a sturdy framework above. The ground is dry and patchy, with tufts of grass growing in sparse clusters. A young woman, Tess, walks up from the riverbank, wearing a fitted dark blue t-shirt and light blue jeans, holding a jacket in one hand. She appears to be looking down at her path while navigating the uneven ground. The late afternoon sun creates stark shadows under the bridge, giving the scene a secluded and peaceful atmosphere.

Audio control booth inside a TV news station in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, filled with equipment and multiple screens showing various broadcasts. The booth has a dimly lit ambiance, with numerous TV monitors lining the wall, each displaying different live feeds, news channels, or static. On the glass window, several printed signs are taped up, including one that reads, "It is your responsibility to get mic checks before every shift" and another warning against soda pop or coffee in the area. Below the screens is a Yamaha audio mixing board with a series of buttons and light indicators, as well as small notes and sticky papers stuck around the workstation. The dark room contrasts with the glow of the screens, giving it a busy, active feel. Taken with a Canon PowerShot digital camera.

A blurred, motion-heavy photo of a camping scene in a dense Wisconsin forest at dusk. Several people are gathered around a low campfire, partially obscured by motion blur. A hand in the foreground holds a marshmallow on a stick, extending toward the viewer. Tess, identifiable by a red bandana, is faintly visible on the left, while another person wearing a green top moves on the right. A black car is barely visible through the shadows in the background, parked among tall, straight trees with lush green foliage. The dim light, rapid movements, and glowing fire create an atmospheric, lively feel. Canon PowerShot digital camera, summer 2010.

A candid photo shot through dense green foliage, partially obscuring the subject. Tess, a young woman with fair skin and dark hair pulled back, kneels on the ground, focused on taking a photo of a small orange daylily blooming nearby. She is holding a compact digital camera in both hands, carefully framing her shot. The sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a dappled pattern on the grass and Tess’s black clothing. The image has a voyeuristic, natural feel, emphasizing the lush plant life and quiet, thoughtful moment. Taken with a Canon PowerShot digital camera, summer 2010.

A rectangular window cut into a wooden wall, framing a bright winter scene outside. The parking lot of a Culver’s restaurant in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is visible through the glass, with several silver and white cars parked in neat rows, including my silver Hyundai Elantra sedan. Snow covers much of the ground, with icy patches and piles around the lot. The Oakwood Mall is visible in the background, along with a few leafless trees and flagpoles standing against a clear, bright sky. Faint reflections and shadows around the window frame hint at the dark interior from which the photo was taken. Canon PowerShot digital camera, winter 2010.

Katie Rodgers, a young woman with long, tanned legs, is sitting on a tiled kitchen floor at a small party. She leans casually against a white cabinet, wearing a fitted black shirt and dark denim shorts, barefoot and relaxed. Her dark, wavy hair is loose around her shoulders, and she has a warm, slightly flushed expression as she looks off to the side, caught in a candid moment. The green linoleum floor and white cabinetry give the space a retro feel, while open boxes and scattered items hint at a casual, laid-back gathering. The warm, dim lighting enhances the intimate, spontaneous vibe. Canon PowerShot digital camera, 2010.

An outdoor concert at a rural Wisconsin festival, held under a wooden pavilion. Anna, a blonde woman in a dress, is performing on a small stage, singing into a microphone while playing an acoustic guitar. Behind her, a bright orange drum set glows under ambient light. Two guitars rest against the wooden support beams. A few audience members are visible from behind, including one person wearing a blue bandana and another in a green shirt. The leafy trees and grass outside the pavilion create a serene backdrop, contrasting with the music-focused interior. The warm, natural light and relaxed festival atmosphere are captured well in this shot. Canon PowerShot digital camera, summer 2010.
