I must have looked at these trucks as I drove past them on 23 heading North for the better part of a year before finally stopping to take a picture. This was my second attempt (the first was on a much cloudier day.) From the highway there’s a fence in-between where you can stand and […]
Abandoned
Surprised Wall
This was taken at Bieber Mill (or Carpenter’s Mill, depending on your Google search)… many of my intentional shots from the stop here didn’t work out, it was hard to set them up as there was a larger group of photographers all getting in each other’s way. I liked this one because the wall looked […]
Reclaiming in Progress
On highway 23 in Michigan, about 9 or 10 miles north of Ohio, there’s a junk yard hidden on the west side of the road. Depending on the season, you can see more or less of it. But I find it fascinating, given how dense it is within the trees. This photo in particular had […]
Forgotten Window
I could spend months driving back and forth across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my camera. I actually don’t remember where this picture was taken. I know it was on the West end of the U.P., but was from a few years back. It’s off the side of a road, though not a big road, and […]
Distant Memory
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Goodbye Jake
On one of my trips to Curtiss Park I happened to show up the same time that a Jake the Pirate doll was floating down the Saline River. I’d never heard of Jake before, but it seemed like a great opportunity for an artsier fartsier type of photo than I usually go for. 🙂 I […]
