Over the many years of photographing ice on Lake St. Clair, I've certainly learned that you have to take what you can get when you are out there. It isn't a very welcoming environment unless you are into ice fishing. It is usually quite windy making the wind chill a...

Exploring the Icescape
My first time out photographing for 2014 was about 2 weeks ago, revisiting my favorite spot for photographing ice on Lake St. Clair. As many times as I have been out here, and as much as I TRY to research weather conditions, cloud cover, etc, it is a complete crap...
Winter sunrise on the lake
Today marked my first "productive" outing in 2013 to my favorite spot along Lake St. Clair. I did one walk out in my woods a couple weeks ago, but didn't even take my lens cap off - so I don't count that. 🙂 I almost made it out here last weekend, but when the...
Ice Neurons
This is the first morning I have been able to get out this year. The skies were going to be clear at dawn, so I thought I would check out the frozen lake I often visit (Lake St. Clair.) Ice conditions were a little sketchy, so I didn't venture out more than 10...

Winter Icescapes
As much as I hate to admit it, yesterday was the first day I have been out photographing this year. Website redesign, processing older images, and filling orders has simply kept me indoors quite a bit. Still, I could not let January pass with not having been out...
Lake St. Clair
I am always a bit torn on visiting this particular spot on Lake St. Clair - the lake formed between two of our Great Lakes - Huron and Erie. I love the ice that piles up here, but it is blastin' cold every time I go out there in the winter. Yeah, yeah I know -...
Radar of opportunity
Well, we have another storm front headed our way, should hit us later today I think. There was a glimmer of hope we were on the tail end. Everywhere I go it seems people are complaining about the long, hard winter this year - yearning for it to be...
Signs of global warming at -112°F
Just passing along an interesting story at this link. These clouds were photographed above Antarctica, and only form at temperatures lower than minus 112 deg F. They reveal deterioration in parts of our atmosphere, so the article states. On that note, I'll share an...
