exploring nature’s infinite connections
It is that time of year again to reflect back on the photographs I made this year. This marks the 6th iteration of this process, and I see no reason to stop. It is a bit of a tradition for me, and I know many other photographers also do the same as...
It is that time of year when I start thinking about photographing on the ice. However, with the extremely mild temperatures this year, I am doubtful I will be able to walk out on the ice like I did in this shot a couple of years ago. This lake, Lake St. Clair, is...
