I’d gone for shots along the beach, but took this on my way back to the car. (Honestly, I’ve not had much luck on the Lake Erie shoreline… it’s too baren or dead looking most times I’ve been there.) But we didn’t have vines like this back up north when I was growing up, playing […]
Clouds
Front Row Sunset
Another example of “ninja street photography” for when you’re too shy to let people know you’re taking photos of them in public. It might be easy to miss in the shot, but there’s a couple here watching the sunset. One of the things you can almost always find at Marquette’s Presque Isle. I was also […]
The Big Mack
I’ve taken a lot of shots of the bridge connecting the two parts of Michigan, but always while taking a stop from travelling. As a result, I’ve not yet had the ideal weather for a shot that I’m truly happy with. This particular time I’d stopped, I’d decided I wanted to try to find something […]
Wild Shoreline
One a recent trip back to the U.P. I decided to drive out along some backroads I hadn’t been on in over 25 years. I found myself north of Deer Lake and took this photo next to the boat ramp that was put in when I was a kid. (The lake is on the other […]
Stormy Flowers
One of my personal rules of photography is that I try very hard to never edit a photo beyond what a realistic view of the actual scene would be. Some pictures need more post-editing than others, but I’ve never been a fan of blowing out the saturation, or other common photoshop habits people have. I […]
Flying Rat Convention
After finding something on Facebook marketplace that I wanted to buy, I ended up meeting the seller (who lived past Cleveland) at Lakeview Park. I brought my camera along using the trip as an excuse to shoot some shots. It didn’t end up being quite as big a photo day as I’d hoped… the weather […]
Toward the Docks
I often have mixed feelings about taking photos of the big ore boats often seen on Lake Superior. It’s not uncommon to see a bunch of people taking photos when the boats are coming into harbor or leaving. For myself, I don’t find the boats themselves that interesting to look at in detail. But with […]
Evening Pine Halo
Just more of my fascination with silhouettes. Most people don’t take a photo of the sunset and then block the sun, lol. I liked the patterns of light and dark with this one.

Future Sand
Download: Future_Sand_Asgard_Photography_IMG_8013.jpg I had to wade through about a foot of water to get to this location… there’s a rest stop off the highway that has a nice shoreline stretch to wander, but then there’s a small river letting out into the lake that you have to cross to get over to this little cove. In […]
