Black and white fine art photograph of the Memorial Union building at Fort Hays State University in Kansas featuring the university’s bronze tiger mascot sculpture in front of the modern stone architecture. While attending my daughter's college graduation, we met up at the Memorial Union building at Fort Hays State University in Kansas. It was an extremely bright day, perfect for black and white photography, allowing the dramatic contrast, textures, and architectural details of the campus to stand out. The building itself reminded me of the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, with its strong geometric shapes, layered stonework, horizontal lines, and balanced composition. I loved being able to frame the building around the bronze tiger, the school's mascot, creating a powerful connection between university pride, campus history, and contemporary architecture. This black and white campus photography print captures the spirit of Fort Hays State University through a fine art perspective, highlighting the relationship between sculpture and architecture. The deep shadows, bright highlights, and monochrome tones create a classic architectural photograph perfect for college alumni, students, graduates, and collectors of black and white wall art. This fine art photograph celebrates the beauty of university’s architecture and preserves a meaningful moment from a special graduation day. A striking addition for anyone looking for unique college campus photography, architectural wall decor, or black and white artwork inspired by education, memories, and places that hold personal significance.

The third piece I submitted to the gallery for the Red, White, and Blue show. This image pays homage to Mike Zack’s Captain America #332 cover from 1987. To make it, I photographed a Marvel Legends Captain America action figure. I also photographed the flag and combined both images in photoshop. I added textures to give it an illustrative look. If anyone is interested in this piece it is available at the or a print is available from my site. Link in the comments.

I convert a film negative of a steam locomotive in photoshop. The photo was taken by my father in 1987 using a Nikon Nikkormat AEL with a 50mm lens. He had been asking me to edit it for a couple months. I figured it being Father’s Day, it would be a good day to do so. This is my first film conversion and am happy with the results.
