After all my visits to Black Pond Woods, I wanted to get back to my River Huron project – has it really been almost a year?. Originally it was about “Intersections”, so where creeks and roads, and railways, met or crossed the river; but I’m beginning to think »
A holiday weekend. Martin has come to visit. And he’s brought his camera! We decided Matthaei Botanical Gardens would be a good place to see. They had a great display of flowers at the gardens proper, but for some reason no
Nowadays my photography so often seems so dependent on the tripod, and I’m accompanied by a bag of lenses, that I find it’s refreshing occasionally to just head off with camera in hand and the one lens that’s on the camera. There’s less “perfection” (you live in hope) and »
