Backyard Captures

Jan.11, 2010 The Solitaire Pine image below was taken with a Nikon CoolPix 995. I was pretty excited when I received this camera as a gift from my wife. I was on my way to fame and fortune with this sweet little package. The specs on this camera were impressive at the time and it got [...]

Red Rock Country

I walked by this rock formation and it was a second take for me when I first saw it. It looked too much like the back side of an alligator. Fascinating what millions of years of erosion can do to a piece of rock! Below is Wikipedia’s definition of what erosion is and what takes [...]

Outside of Michigan

Jan. 21, 2010 16 weeks ago I posted this image and received some very nice comments from some of my friends. Last night when I was checking my blog this image was gone, vanished into thin air. Also the image below showing the Turnagain Arm no longer had a thin boarder around it like my [...]

Far reaching destination with abundant wildlife and ecosystems that seem on the surface to be totally untouched, void from man. Sure there are places in Africa that few people have been to and yes those destination do exist-at least for me. [...]

Random Images

Decided to add some random images that feel a little warmer. Nothing in particular and nothing necessarily having to pertain to winter since I’m getting a little tired of it. For the past 3 years my wife and I have gone to Mexico to escape the endless Michigan winters. We both decided to stay home [...]

North Pier Details

Feb. 25, 2010 How often do you photograph the scene as a whole and call it good after that? My wife would describe me as someone who shoots for the detail in a shot. If you break down a single shot you can come away with a multitude of other images that tell even more of [...]

Images from the Pier

February 4, 2010 New image from the North Pier looking at the Outer Lighthouse was taken before the temperatures took a climb and melted what your looking at. It was really amazing to be out on the pier at sunset and witness all these formations, and how it transforms the pier into a completely different environment. [...]
