exploring nature’s infinite connections
As Spring is now here, I was a bit worried I missed getting out to my ice spot as much as I wanted to this past winter. I had already heard the bay I usually visit on Lake St. Clair was no longer covered. The passing of March 20 doesn't suddenly mean everything...
I have a quite a few images in my archives that have been just sitting around collecting dust for awhile until I spend some time and figure out "what they want to be" as I wrote in my last post. That process is often quite similar to a walk in the woods with no...
In my first job out of college, I became friends with a designer who had a knack for describing many things in the terms of how they "want to be." It was only our job of trying to figure out what that something wanted to be, whether it is a shape, a color, a...
In Issue 104 of Lenswork magazine, Brooks Jensen's comments for this issue really resonated with me. He goes into describing the process of doing any creative project, and how more often than not, things typically don't work out the first time around, or the second,...

Inspired in part by my friend Carl's post on Photography Goals, this time of year always seems to have me thinking about what I want to do with my work. This time of year is always filled with "resolutions" which I don't do, but I do reflect upon what I would like...
This image is from my "sand dune" fall trip this year, only instead of Silver Lake dunes where most of my shared images have been from, this is from the more popular and well known Sleeping Bear Dunes. I am just now getting around to processing the shots I intended...
