- One last Mother Nature as the architect post. I'm always jealous when I see people on lakes getting images of the piled-up ice. I was thrilled to see it on the Fox River a couple of weeks ago. I've been spending a lot of time updating the Shop on my website. Stay tuned. #EastCoastKin #Photography
- I say it all the time, Mother Nature is the ultimate architect. Quiet moments along the Fox River at Jon J. Duerr @ForestPreserve What in the world is this? It reminded me of an alien being from a sci-fi movie. Does it remind you of anything? #EastCoastKin #Photography #Winter
- I say it all the time, Mother Nature is the ultimate architect. Quiet moments along the Fox River at Jon J. Duerr Forest Preserve. It's one of my greatest joys to find these interesting ice formations. #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography #Photography #Winter #ArcanumAlumni #PhotographersUnited
- Another piece from the Daniel Judd exhibit at @MilwaukeeArt. Typically, I spend most of my time photographing the amazing Calatrava building. Back in October, I spent a couple of hours wandering around, enjoying the art. #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PublicArt #FineArtPhotography
- What else would you do with an amazing reflective exhibit by Donald Judd? At the @MilwaukeeArt for a few hours back in October. If you want to learn more about Donald Judd, head over to juddfoundation.org I'll be sharing a few more of his pieces; they were quite fun to photograph.
- I'm up to my eyeballs in projects, which means I'm not around much just posting to post. Checking in today to see the #BlueSkyArtShow theme and am sharing this beautiful, cold ice from the river near my home. I love finding ice like this. #EastCoastKin #Cold #FineArtPhotography #ArcanumAlumni

- I've been thinking a lot about photographing the work of other artists. When we photograph their work, are we merely documenting it, or are we creating new art? Chihuly's work has fascinated me for decades. How do you feel about photographs of art? #EastCoastKin #FineArtPhotography
- A trip down to the river this morning. #EastCoastKin #Photography #WinterPhotography #ArcanumAlumni #PhotographersUnited
- Check out my latest idea/project/experiment! I’m starting an experiment in tactile connection. A few times a year, I’ll send out Perspectives in Post — postcards, zines, and prints — through the actual mail. It’s a simple “hello”. Want in? forms.gle/4ie1yv2f3vfN... #EastCoastKin #RealMail
- Got myself outside for a bit today. Colder than I thought and windy, but felt good. This is the Union Pacific Poplar Creek train bridge. It was built in 1861. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #Photography #ArcanumAlumni #G+Circle #PhotographersUnited
- A place to rest. Milwaukee Art Museum This scene caught my eye. #FineArtPhotography #SantiagoCalatrava #EastCoastKin #ImageLicensing #VisitMilwaukee #ArcanumAlumni #MinimalPhotography
- @maria24x.bsky.social Thank you to the squirrel lover who bought a 30"x39" Paper Mounted Framed print of this image. Boston, MA I have a feeling it may be the Children's Hospital. When I say you never know what will sell...you never know what will sell. #EastCoastKin #WildlifePhotography
- Going through images from October. In the past, I've specifically gone to the Milwaukee Art Museum to create images of it. This time, I spent a couple of hours taking in the exhibits and taking photos. I want to get through these images in the next week. #EastCoastKin #Photography #architecture

- To help me with getting my camera out of its bag more often this year, I decided to participate in the 52 Frames weekly challenge. This week’s challenge was Self-Portrait with an extra challenge of using Rembrandt lighting. I used my camera and my tripod, win-win. #52Frames_selfportrait
- My latest blog post is a recap of 2025 and some intentions for 2026. It's a long one, which is unusual for me, but I had a lot to reflect on. I'm looking forward to creativity in 2026 and wish you the same. laurinovak.com/2026-the-yea... #LessScrollingMoreCreating #EastCoastKin #YearInReview
- Finally got off my rear and went out to search for ice. Felt so good to be in the fresh air today. I can’t wait to go through the images from my camera. #EastCoastKin #WinterPhotography #LessScrollingMoreCreating
- A short photo essay from Mitchell Domes in Milwaukee. laurinovak.com/mitchell-dom... #VisitMilwaukee #MitchellDomes
- Printing 10 copies of my Everyday Shadows Issue 1 Chapbook for a zine exchange. Chapbook vs. Zine? Does it matter what you call it? What’s the difference? Is there really a difference? Want your own copy of one of these? Let me know, they are made to order. #PhotoZine #EastCoastKin #Photography

- It's always nice to see where a licensed image ends up. I knew what this was licensed for and sent me the final product—great organization, by the way, in support of conservation and river clean-up in the US. #Conservation #LicensedImage #EastCoastKin #FineArtPhotography
- My 2025 Top Nine A split of new images and a few reshared images. A reminder that I need to get out and create with my camera more often in 2026. #TopNine2025 #EastCoastKin #LessPostingMoreCreating #LessScrollingMoreCreating
- Merry Christmas!
- A stunning spiral staircase at the San Filippo Foundation. #Stunday A wonderful afternoon spent there exploring the various types of automatic music instruments. Victrola phonographs, music boxes and pinned cylinders, the Wurlitzer Theater organ, and, including the 1890 carousel. #EastCoastKin
