'Spooner Blows' and other Wisco scenery
Slate recently published a series of photographs "Celebrating the Glory of Wisconsin" from Wisconsinite Mark Brautigam. Slate calls them "quirky and delightful," and while they may not seem all that quirky to the native Sconnie, the images are nonetheless endearing (if not downright charming). They really bring attention to everyday Wisconsin sights, pulling them out of context and giving them new life. Slate says …
Brautigam started his series, “On Wisconsin,” in Milwaukee, gradually venturing farther until he’d reached every corner of the state. Along the way, he captured unconventional landscapes and made quiet, contemplative portraits of people he met. “It’s a result of what these little trips became for me, a total escape from work, social media, politics, all that stuff. I’d just throw my camera in the car and go out of the city to some quieter places,” he said.
