I was out for a walk this afternoon. Recently, going down by the Huron River in town has been a favorite. Cross the river on the Broadway Bridge and reach the path towards the University Hospital at the city canoe put-in. Mostly I’ve been on the bike, and yesterday followed the Washtenaw Border-to-Border trail all the way to Ypsilanti. »

I was out cycling last weekend, and I’d come down the track along the Huron River, through Gallup Park and was on the bridge on E Huron River Dr when I saw these 3 geese sitting on a log. I had my camera with me. I started photographing from a number of positions along the bridge. Finally I looked at the LCD to check how things are going. »
The last few years we have enjoyed a number of long-distance train rides, curtesy of Amtrak. I’ve managed to get quite a few photographs I like despite the challenges (previously described). So many in fact, that now I am looking forward to my 2015 calendar and using them »
I’ve started thinking about my calendar for 2014. I know, the bookstores started getting their stocks on display in June. Not to worry. I’m thinking of doing black and white photographs of trees. I discovered a ‘new’ place to hike in town this weekend, at County Farm Park. Not »

I spent last weekend at a workshop given by Brooks Jensen, of LensWork magazine fame. He is touring the western states, so I had to travel if I wanted to attend. I missed out on Portland and couldn’t get to San Francisco, so I went to Los Angeles, which »
We have a large, old magnolia tree in our front yard. It is in full bloom. This year feels unusual, compared to recent years, in that there are no storms coming through, blowing all the blossoms off almost as soon as they appear. Of course, we did lose yet »
This journal contains notes to myself and my friends, about where I went, what I did, what I photographed; anything that relates to my interests in photography. The photographs used to illustrate the journal are not all likely to appear in a portfolio; they might not be a match for subject, theme, quality (after all, some of the notes are about what went wrong!). But I hope you find something interesting here, something that encourages you to explore further. Thank you. »
