Christmas

Christmas.......how I miss the magic I felt as a child this time of year. I try my best to capture the spirit and the mood but have difficulty overcoming the stress of everything that goes with the holiday. But despite everything that causes the seasonal woes, I have a lot to be thankful for and I'll lean on that to bring me peace this time of year.

Autumn trail hike

Overcast skies provided a great opportunity for some autumn photography. Casting a soft filtered light over the landscape.

Autumn in Michigan

My recovery from knee surgery is going well and now that I can get around a bit,  I decided on a walk through a local botanical garden.  The autumn colors are starting to show and the smells are intoxicating. Best time of the year!

Gaining perspectives

Being limited by recovery from my knee surgery,  I've learned to look around and appreciate more of what's around me.  There truly are photographs to be made everywhere.

Sentenced to relaxation

Usually I'm a busy body.  Always got something on my mind,  something that needs to be done.  Multitasking.  Now I'm confined,  for the most part,  to a chair.  It's a difficult adjustment and I'm sure many will cry out in jealousy,  "what are you complaining about?"

No complaining.  Just an adjustment.  So I found a nice place outside.  Put my feet up.  Put some smooth jazz on the radio and stared up at the sky. 

Ok. ..... it'll take some getting used to,  but I think I'll manage.  :-)

Well, here I am. ...

My blog.......

It's been a long time.

Photography has taken a back seat in recent years.  I still love it and will make an occasional frame now and then. 

I've been cycling much more than shooting and now that I'm 40, fitness had become a priority of mine. The bike is a great way to accomplish this and also gives me time with friends. 

Recently,  it's all been on hold with a meniscus tear.  And being confined to a couch,  I figured I'd reinvent my blog. Along with my occasional photography,  I think I'll add more of life.  My cycling,  of course,  but some day to day musings of being a husband,  a father and just an average blue collar guy.

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted.....



Figured I would get this thing fired up again whether anyone reads it or not. LOL






Took a drive out to Lake Erie to try to take advantage of an overcast day. Figured the clouds, rocks and water would create some nice textures for black and white work.
