Designed in the Gothic Revival style by Chicago architects Cochrane and Garnsey, it was built in 1871 for the oldest Protestant congregation in Wisconsin (organizing in 1834), and was actually their third church building. It was constructed using locally-quarried St. Peter's sandstone. Now known as the First Methodist Church, it continues to hold services today.
A Madison, Wisconsin landmark that has been doing business at this Monroe Street location since 1942, Mallatt's Pharmacy (or is it Mallatt?) seems to have a cavalier attitude toward punctuation, judging from their signs. But they're all business when it comes to theatrical makeup and costumes. They're the place to go for all your Halloween needs. How did a pharmacy find itself in this unique position?

Deer hunting season is important in Wisconsin. To people who live here it is a skill sport and a source of wild game for the table. (Unlike some places, Wisconsin does not allow venison to be sold in grocery stores or restaurants.) Deer hunting is also an economic entity-tourists buy hunting licenses and stay in Wisconsin to hunt.
This art display was seen at Sheboygan's John Michael Kohler Art Center. I shot from different points of view in order to capture the viewpoints of both the hunter and the hunted. In #2 and # 3 the eyes of each element tell a story in themselves.

first parents magazine, then mothering and now the.....vernon county broadcaster?
yup, odin and evelyn made it above the fold for the article on rock and roll library show!
unfortunately the photographer was a little confused and wrote that odin was from grand rapids, michigan which - while technically correct, doesn't really convey the truth that he now lives in viroqua. hi. ho. you know what they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity. and really, we're not publicity hounds! the photographer just knows two cute kids when she sees them :-)
Wisconsin, the statue on top of the state Capitol in Madison. Yes this one is nearly 12 years old but is still one of my favorites. Here is a case when the light is changing too fast to have preset the shutter speed and aperature to a manual setting. I set to aperature priority, faiirly wide open and let the camera select shutter speed.,
Much like an IMAX, a 280 degree screen brings to life real world scenarios designed to put a four-person fire team made up of a driver, gunner, rifleman and troop commander through the paces of an actual convoy mission. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Dan Richardson.)
nrhp # 76000054- More than a photographer, Henry Hamilton Bennett (1843-1908) was an inventive visual historian. His pioneering use of technology, combined with exquisite composition skills, created an enduring legacy for Wisconsin Dells. His stereoscopic views of the dells of the Wisconsin River attracted visitors from across the country and truly made him the man who made Wisconsin Dells famous.
H.H. Bennett embarked on his life as a photographer after an injury sustained in the Civil War permanently crippled his right hand, preventing him from becoming a carpenter. He did use carpentry skills, however, as he began a career as a photographer.
Purchasing a tintype studio in Wisconsin Dells (then Kilbourn City), he took his first stereographic landscape photographs of the rugged Wisconsin River dells in 1868. Constructing all aspects of the camera except for the lenses, he ventured out into the wooded landscape of the Dells and captured the area on film. He was one of the first photojournalists, using photographs to tell a story.
H.H. Bennett is viewed as one of the 10 best landscape photographers of the 19th century. While other photographers clung to their studios, Bennett developed a passion for landscape photography because, in his words, "It is easier to pose nature and less trouble to please." He developed the image of nature as a playground to be enjoyed, not feared."

Built in 1928, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was built to house the offices of the Wisconsin Power and Light Company. The building is clad in limestone with a classically-inspired tripartite composition. The two-story base of the building is relatively plain with limestone panel cladding, large storefront windows on the first floor, a front entrance with a large decorative transom and a canopy over the sidewalk, smaller one-over-one windows on the second floor, with the top of the base being demarcated by a band of extruded belt coursing at the base of the sills of the third-floor windows, with greek key motif on several portions. Above the base is the shaft of the building’s exterior composition, which features one-over-one windows with the middle bays in groups of three and four featuring decorative recessed spandrel panels featuring depictions of electrical generators, a unique choice and a nod to the building’s original tenant. The spandrel panels end at the base of the ninth floor windows, with the tenth floor windows being detached, forming part of the capital of the composition, with a band of extruded belt coursing around the base of the parapet, with volutes and stepped parapets enclosing the low-slope roof, and carved relief panels. The building has since become known as the Hovde Building, and houses several commercial office tenants.
