Wisconsin Portrait bio picture

  • 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.

Route 66 Joplin Missouri to New Mexico Border

Last weekend a friend and I embarked on the second of four our planned legs of Route 66. The historic highway from Chicago to Los Angeles, is filled with interesting sights and long closed business. This highway 2,448 miles long, was established in 1926 as one of the original U.S. Highways. As a photographer I can’t think of a better subject to photograph. Here are a few pictures that I thought conveyed what it looks like today.

Valarie Kern - Excellent shots and angles of the not-so-famous structures along the way. I would love to see the rest of the roll (the pictures that did not make the cut here). Thanks for posting!
