This walkway was just put in not that long ago and already looks like it’s been there decades… Lake Superior weather is not easy to, well, weather. This is the lighthouse off of Presque Isle in Upper Michigan’s Marquette, seen from one of the beaches on the road to get to the island. I haven’t […]
Leaves
Winter Arms
I’d gone to the park when I saw it was snowing out… I wanted to try out my new camera hood I’d gotten a few months earlier. (Typically for shooting at waterfalls, to protect from spray, but works for snow pretty good as well.) However, it had almost stopped snowing by the time I got […]

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 […]
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 […]
Thick Reach
Sometimes you have to bark up the wrong tree over and over on the off chance you’ll eventually get the right tree… actually, I feel like many trees have personality. Getting up close to them is where it’s easier to see that. This one felt tolerant but tired. Download: Thick_Reach-Asgard_Photography_IMG_4704.jpg Camera Settings F-stop: f/18 Exposure: […]
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 […]
Edge of Fall
I’d passed over editing this one to post it back when I took it a few years ago… but while cleaning out my folders I found that a new noise reduction filter I had really helped with the noise from the higher ISO setting. And I really liked the stillness of the water, which makes […]
