exploring nature’s infinite connections
Lake Superior's shoreline in Michigan is highly diverse. From the cliffs of Pictured Rocks, to flat cobblestone covered beaches around Whitefish point, to this area I explored some years back near Marquette. Wetmore Landing is home to some of the oldest rock...
A Monday quick thought - many photographers lament the time in autumn after the leaves fall off of the trees. "Stick season", or "season of brown" are common references after the commonly sought after fall color scenics have passed. I actually look forward to this...
While going through some older work to edit, I found this image from a walk in the woods behind my house. The exposure was made on November 10, 2010, I only have vague memories of it. The fog in the image probably gives a clue as to why I was out wandering, just to...
The organization of my photo archive has certainly evolved over the years. The most notable change of course was in a move from analog to digital photography many, many years ago. My file cabinet full of 35mm slides sits basically untouched these days. It isn't...

Maybe it is a little too cliche to see such symbolism in this image, but it was what was on my mind when making the exposure and also in developing it. The forest floor was certainly in a state of change at the time. Plants pulling back, new forest feeding materials...
A quote I stumbled on recently about the Great Lakes, and in particular Lake Superior struck a chord with me. I know I am not alone in thinking that calling these bodies of water "lakes" - even if prefaced by the adjective in the name, doesn't give them justice. We...
A side effect of being a bit distracted lately is that I completely did not register that it was the first day of Autumn (for us Northern Hemispherites) today. It took the mention of the Autumn Equinox in an email for it to spark an "oh yeah..." moment in my head. So...
I have been at a bit of a loss of words or image inspiration of late. Loss of words I suppose is a poor way to put it, it is actually too many words and thoughts that take some effort to sort through and organize in any type of coherent manner. So much going on in the...
