Photos of Wisconsin by photographer Steve Apps

Wisconsin Portrait

This is a photo Blog that I like to call "Wisconsin Portrait."

My life as a photojournalist, and Chief Photographer for the Wisconsin State Journal can be exciting and fast paced, with news and sports assignments making up a large part of my professional working life. As a photographer that is not enough.

My job as a professional observer has opened my eyes to many things around me. I can't drive down a street or take a walk, without seeing as a photographer.

Most of the pictures I want to feature here are snapshots around the state. Hopefully showing you these pictures will open your eyes to things you may see everyday, but not really look at.

All comments are welcome.

I have been carrying around a new Fujifilm X100S rangefinder type camera to photograph some of the things I seen on a daily basis. I decided to post these photos with the title Five Photos and when post when I have five photos I like. This is a great little camera for doing things like this.
