About waynem
As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work.
My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.
My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
Money and living above your means definitely does not mean happiness.
I have watched as my sister’s marriage falls apart at the seams over living above their means and the stress from the bills kills their marriage in conflicts.
We have enough to pay the bills and keep a small savings account going, and to buy some things as they come up needed. We don’t use credit cards, or finance anything with interest.
It’s simple and it’s nonstressful. We don’t stress about money, and we never fight about it. 🙂
