Right before turning off on a road to explore the Laughing Whitefish area there’s a post office for Deerton, Michigan. Right near that, there’s a house that’s seen better days. Every time I see houses like this (there are many along the roads in the U.P. when you get out away from the towns) it […]
Architecture
Buildings and things man made… the outdoors and natural things interest more more, but sometimes it’s fun to shoot in the city.
Outside In
Somewhere near Epoufette in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, there’s an abandoned house on the shore of Lake Michigan. I’ve stopped a few times on trips back and forth, and this shot was taken shortly after getting my first camera (Canon EOS Rebel T3). I hadn’t really planned the shot at all, but really ended up liking the […]
Polish Water
While trying to take some shots of the old abandoned ore dock in Marquette’s lower harbor, I took this one of the old posts under the water in between the ore dock and the land. These are the times I wish I had an underwater camera to get some more interesting shots. Lake Superior is […]

Stoned
I was excited to find out Toledo had a Botanical Garden, though to be honest I’d been spoiled for it having been to the one in Madison, Wisconsin with my folks. Toledo’s doesn’t have nearly as much in it, though there’s a nice river and bridge and some neat statues. I’m not sure what it […]
Nuclear Ice
Towards the end of winter I like to try to catch ice shots on the Great Lakes. In this case, it was at the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area on the shore of Lake Erie in Ohio. Waves had pushed up the ice pretty high in some places, and while it was tempting to climb out on […]
Falls on the Wall
One of the stops on a day long photography group outing I took part in was in Elyria, Ohio. The two things I remember about Elyria, were this waterfall with the crumbling infrastructure, and the house nearby that had (among many other things) a singing Big Mouth Billy Bass on the outside of their house […]
Dam Sunset
After having stopped at the O’Shaughnessy Reservoir earlier in the day when the sun was directly above, a group of photographers I’d gone on a day outing with had decided we’d stop by again on our way home to catch the dam in a lower light setting to allow easier long exposure shots. I was […]
Channeling the Flow
This is probably one of the more common shots I’ve seen online by photographers living anywhere near Toledo. It’s the remains of the Erie Canal Locks at Sidecut Metropark in Maumee, Ohio. The water level is pretty different from one day to the next, and so far most of the times I’ve made it there […]
Young Voices Old Places
While visiting the Berea Falls area for some waterfall shots, I tried to find a way to get a few closer up of the old arches holding up some railroad tracks that run over the river. Most of the good views are obscured by the fence along the road, but I was almost able to […]
