Squirrels are some of my favorite animals to photograph. I especially like it when they just ignore me and continue on with their day as if nothing is happening. This squirrel was enjoying some fruit from

At the zoo there is a very active Wolverine. We happened to catch them just in time for their daily treat. They looked very happy and proud this day.

Nothing like being on top of the world at the orchard

One morning on my way to work I couldn't help but stop and get a picture of sunrise. The sun was coming over the trees just right to cause a lot of rays to show and it was just a kind of serene moment

During the spring / fall this Red Wing Blackbird loves to visit the tree by my house. I love seeing this bird show as they stand out from the usual blend of finches and sparrows we get.

After a major wind storm this giant pine tree fell over 😢. It was one of about a dozen that were pummeled by the wind and sadly it lost the battle. These pines are over 15 feet tall...

How I came to have a cyber deck that gets out of my way and allows me to focus on creation, not consumption Prelude For years I have seen posts about cyber decks and always wondered why people build them.

Living near some common plane travel paths has some utility when you get your first super zoom lens. It seems Delta flies some routes just close enough for this lens to see the planes quite well. This

There is a machine shop nearby and one day I asked if I could take some photos of their work and shop. They have some really really cool items but these old castings that were off in storage were the most

Out in the park one day we were being buzzed by a significant number of bees. We looked up to find a Bee Hive in the perfect position for a photograph.

The view at the local part is one of the best I've encountered. I cannot wait to get back to visiting regularly and getting more photos of this location.

I took this playground photo back in 2016 and didn't realize how appropriate it would be over time. Hopefully post-pandemic we will see more kids enjoying the great outdoors and fewer abandoned playgrounds.

This is probably one of the best, if not the best photo of a person I've ever taken. Someone I know posed as a Juggalette for a photo challenge I was trying to accomplish. They were a great model and during

Houdini, the 15lbs Main Coon mix has been itching to get to one of the household windows lately. Just outside the window is a tree the sparrows love and use to taunt him all day long. Today his wish came

Back in 2017 a friend asked me if I could get a creative photo of a Lego figurine. After much deliberation I came up with the idea to make it look like the figurine was working on a mountain. I used a

At Greenfield Village there are a ton of really cool historical homes on display. They move homes from around the Detroit, MI area onto the property to ensure they are preserved over time. It's a really

Good Intention, Failure Imminent I intended to write a post about all the systems and ideas I've tried over the years. Instead it was more appropriate to call bullshit and tell you it's a brain wiring

This collection of Houdini photos is from the day we got a new 100mm Sigma macro lens for our APS-C cameras. He was having a great time with a ribbon (not pictured) and we got some great shots of the his
