exploring nature’s infinite connections
“If all your life means to you is water running over rocks, then photograph it, but I want to create something that would not have existed without me." ~ Minor White I recently came across this quote from Minor White that really resonated with me. It puts quite...
This almost became the first winter that I didn't photograph a single landscape. It felt weird - a little bit guilt, a little bit relief. With the very mild El Niño winter, we were teased a lot here in Michigan. We would have multiple 45-50 deg F...
Anyone in the nature photography community knows that Iceland is one of the hottest go-to destinations right now. New workshops seem to be popping up everywhere, following a bit of a gold-rush type boom in pursuit of the beautiful and unique scenics that can be...

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...
