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 […]
Fall
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 […]
Branching Out
I debated whether to include this one, as I’m not fully happy with the foreground and overall framing. But, I like the ambiguity about whether the two prongs of the branch are actually two or a reflection (which it is). And I also liked the clouds and fall colors of the trees on the other […]
Growing for a Swim
This is one of my favorite trees at Kensington Metropark in Michigan… it’s almost completely fallen sideways into the lake, but is still hanging on to life. It’s rooted right on the shoreline, so the angle provides an interesting perspective that feels a bit off (and any time something is different it can make for […]
Around the Bend
One of the challenges of going to a place over and over again with your camera is finding new things to shoot. I’ve gone many times to the Kensington Metropark near Milford, Michigan. It’s a great place to get up close to wildlife, as the birds are at this point extremely used to being fed […]
We Three Geese
I love being outdoors with my camera on days where there’s clouds like this scattered around the sky, it’s always fun to happen upon a composition you really like without having to edit clouds into the image. These three feathered friends were just leaving the shoreline when I walked around the corner path so I […]
