exploring nature’s infinite connections
Shorelines have been one of my favorite areas to photograph for as long as I can remember. So it seemed natural for me to gravitate to my "Shorelines" folder in my cabinet to see if I could resurrect a few slides via my D800 method. I picked a few from pretty far...
It is no surprise I have a love for water and shorelines, and fortunately around the Great Lakes, we have an abundance of them in great variety. This, combined with a love for diving, I suppose I get a pretty healthy dose of being around water. However, it is...
