I hadn’t actually been trying to take a photo with a person in it, but found out when I got home that I had in this case. One thing I like about the Maumee river is that the water level changes all the time. I like visiting when it’s low, as it usually provides for […]
Maumee River
Evening River
One of my favorite things is ending up with a photo that captures more the feel of a place than the normal actual look of it. Most times I’ve been to this stretch of river shoreline, it’s very bland or dirty looking, or overcrowded. But things came together one evening and I was happy to […]
