Moon and Roofline

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Katherine Wikoff

Had an errand to run last night and noticed how striking this roofline looked beneath the moon. I especially liked the strong, stark, “color blocking” effect. Such a plain but forceful image. Just these large, sharply-defined blocks of solid color … Continue reading →

Narnia

We had a major snowfall in the Midwest over the weekend. Saturday was a cozy, “inside” day, watching the snow fall like powdered sugar gently sifted over white frosting. Yesterday was an “outside” day, cleaning off the cars, clearing away … Continue reading →

A photo of the Milwaukee Police Department District 1 & Administration building, at night, with blue light and words “MILWAUKEE POLICE.” Taken on my way home from work this evening. That phrase, “thin blue line,” pops into my head every … Continue reading →

Remember I told you I’ve been taking LOTS of photos lately? Here’s one taken from the window of a classroom I teach in. Maybe I should have titled this blog post “A View of Viets Tower from Diercks Hall,” lol. … Continue reading →

MILWAUKEE

Posted on November 12, 2025 by Katherine Wikoff

Additional PAC Garb

Posted on November 9, 2025 by Katherine Wikoff

The City Dreams in Green

Posted on November 7, 2025 by Katherine Wikoff

I took this photo Tuesday evening, around 8 PM. The streets were quiet and the buildings were washed in the same green light—two neighbors, one devoted to finance, the other to performance. On the left (taller of the two) is … Continue reading →
