Monona Bay photoshoot

Taken today at the Monona Bay railroad bridge, Madison, Wisconsin.

This location is just a block from where we live in Madison. I noticed it the other day driving along North Shore... I thought it was neat how the railroad tracks are so straight and the telephone poles are so crooked. The black and white just made this picture in my opinion.

There are tons of points of inspiration in our neighborhood. I'm just finding that I need to keep my eyes open. I don't need to travel to exotic locations to make great photographs. Madison is enough. :) That's something I've always said about writing as well: Writers don't have amazing, life-changing, extraordinary experiences. They take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. I'm finding that my favorite kinds of photographs do the same thing.

More pictures from this outing after the jump.

Hi. I'm Meagan. I take pictures.

Observatory Drive in Madtown.

One of my favorite drives and walks in Madison, Observatory Drive runs along Lake Mendota on the University of Wisconsin Campus. This windy, narrow road has been under construction for the last year-ish, so to get here from the campus side, we hiked up a steep, wooded hill and trespassed through some roadwork on a Sunday afternoon.

Stay tuned for more of my photos as I practice, build my portfolio, and jump into that whole Flickr thing. :)
