Crosswinds Marsh is an interesting place… aside from the fact that it’s literally across the road from a giant landfill. There’s a lot of wooden paths like this over the water to walk on, joining several islands. Depending on the time of year, some interesting views. Sometimes it can be really crowded, which makes it […]

Winding Down
The older I get, the harder it is to get to some of these spots… there’d been some rain, so the ground was covered with really wet leaves and I almost broke a few things getting down and then back up again from this spot at the Tinker Creek waterfall. It was also difficult to […]

Calming Fall
Bond Falls is an impressive sight. It always strikes me, looking at a picture like this, how the long exposure creates a feeling of smooth and calm, but when you’re actually THERE at the waterfall, the raw power is overwhelming. There’s something to be said for a faster exposure in capturing the energy in the […]
Front Row Seat
Bond Falls is probably the biggest waterfall in Upper Michigan, or at least the biggest one that is pretty easy to get to (depending on what time of year you go.) The main falls are pretty spectacular, but you can hike up along the side and there are many smaller falls as well. A great […]

Hidden Fall
Sometimes I end up with different versions of a photo that I can’t choose between for which I think is best. This is a perfect example of one of those. I typically like photos that are landscape (horizontal) versus portrait (vertical). However, I feel there are strengths and weaknesses for each of these. Since I […]
Leaning Into Fall
Some days when I take my camera out into the woods, the only thing I get is the walk outdoors. On this trip I think I took about 50 different photos, but ended up hating all of them when I got back to my computer. This one I hemmed and hawed on a bit… it […]

Fall Ball Self Portrait
Overall not the greatest photo… but I liked how the trees curve in the reflection. Plus, it felt like I needed to use one of a handful of these I took for something as it turns out that sticking a glass ball on dry leaves is a great way to start a fire.

Motel Art
For some reason, every photo I took of this scene came out looking like something you’d see hanging in an old motel, likely a painting by somebody you’d not heard of. Motel art. Still, I find it peaceful to look at, and I’ve always kind of had a fondness for the campy motel aesthetic. Scenes […]
Field of Leaves
This was my favorite tree when I lived in Saline, Michigan… it’s in Curtiss Park, a small park on the West end of town not far from my apartment at the time. It’s the biggest tree in the park and always seemed to me to have the most noticeable personality. Every now and then if […]
