The Awesomeness Of Don Q

While down in Dodgeville for an event at the Dodgeville Public Library in April, I finally got to stay at a hotel I’d been driving past and wanting to stay at for years, the Don Q Inn. Was it because of the awesome airplane outside that apparently has Farrah Fawcett’s signature on the hull?  Could … Continue reading

Ten Wonderful Wisconsin Oddities

The title says it rather clearly, these are ten shots of some of the wonderful oddities I’ve encountered in my travels around Wisconsin making this documentary (that is now finished, working on release screenings and dates for this fall).  There’s a little note below each photo to let you know a bit about it. * … Continue reading

Outside House On The Rock

I shot these quite some time ago, but just found them.  While the interior tour of House On The Rock is used in the documentary (to humorous and a bit eery effect), only a smidgen of the exterior, also an awesome place to visit, is used.  That place just keeps going and going.  Enjoy, and … Continue reading

Wisconsin Cheese Cow Lexxy’s Day Trip To Ashland

My travel sidekick Lexxy (the blow up cow to promote Wisconsin Cheese), always seemed to get the best view of everything.  Ok, just having a little fun with her.  Ashland was definitely my kind of town, and South Shore Brewing my kind of place to grab a great Wisconsin Beer.  Another neat thing are the … Continue reading

The Morgue Haunted House

I know it’s not Holloween, but stumbling upon some fun pictures while driving back roads near DePere, I came across an old school house renamed The Morgue, and took several photos of it.  Interestingly enough, there was also a church right next to it.  After finding the pictures, I looked up what it might be … Continue reading

Wisconsin Weather Gone Wild

While I am off in Southern California editing on a breezy 73 degree day, my family was stuck in the minus 27 degree weather in the Rice Lake area (see top photo below).  That’s where I would be if there right now, and that’s also a one hundred degree difference.  Futher, it was a change … Continue reading

Ella’s Deli & Ice Cream Parlor – Past, Present & Fantasy

I had the pleasure of dining with our dear friend Steve “The Owner” Tate at Ella’s Deli several months ago and it was quite the pleasing experience for a number of reasons, particular the great deli food and ice cream, but also the decor.  So many things from the past and present on display, yet … Continue reading

An Upside Down White House In Wisconsin Dells

The upside down alien attacked White House in Wisconsin Dells looks even more creepy when you shoot it at night when no one is around (see video).  It’s like it really happened, and with Halloween upon us, it has all the luster of a haunted house.  Creepy and cool all the same. * * * … Continue reading

Pumpkins Are Fun In The Fall

It’s fall, so that means pumpkins.  Here’s a killer pumpkin patch and maze just outside of Rice Lake.  Espcecially neat is the pumpkin tree that had to be at least sixty feet high. * * * * * *

Where Antiques & Cheese Come Together

Tim and Tom’s Cheese shop is located just outside of Kenosha, right off the freeway a few miles away from Mars Cheese Castle, but it’s a world of difference from the Castle filled with cheese because it also offers up an awesome variety of antiques and unique items for sale.  Lots of collectables, old liscense … Continue reading
