By the time I got to the city, the sun was just starting to peek over the Lake Superior horizon, and I got to watch this beautiful sunrise as I rode along Lake Shore Drive. After all was said and done, I rode out past Sugarloaf Mountain all the way to the Big Bay Lighthouse and back, for a 77 mile journey (approximate route map here). http://aquatic.org/collections/main/159.html Sat, 31 Mar 2007 23:03:15 EDT We've made this trip a million times before. Seven hours from home to Marquette, or a couple more to Houghton. Crossing the bridge is something of a ritual, beyond which the spaces open up, the pace slows down, and Michigan begins to really show its natural wonder. http://aquatic.org/collections/main/158.html Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:03:28 EDT The parks are empty and the sidewalks abandoned. Maybe there really is something better going on indoors, but somehow I doubt it; it's a perfect day to go exploring and find what others have forgotten. http://aquatic.org/collections/main/157.html Sat, 24 Feb 2007 23:02:36 EST http://aquatic.org/collections/main/156.html Sun, 18 Feb 2007 00:02:29 EST We explored the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor today for a refreshing reprieve from the grey dullness of winter. I've placed all the photos from the outing in a set. http://aquatic.org/collections/main/155.html Fri, 02 Feb 2007 09:02:26 EST This photo was taken with a 50mm f/1.6 lens from an old Fujica camera. It doesn't attach to my Canon camera (at least without an adaptor that I don't have), but if I leave the lens wide open, focus ahead of time, and just sort of hold it in front of my camera, I can actually coax good shots out of it. http://aquatic.org/collections/main/154.html Mon, 29 Jan 2007 20:01:24 EST http://aquatic.org/collections/main/153.html Fri, 26 Jan 2007 23:01:47 EST Who better to tolerate experiments with off-camera flash than the faithful hound...? This was done all manually, holding the shutter open for a couple seconds while holding and pressing the flash button from off to the side. http://aquatic.org/collections/main/152.html Fri, 26 Jan 2007 20:01:21 EST I had some free time before the Flickr meetup in Ypsi, so I parked by the river in Ann Arbor and walked around with the camera for a while as it was getting dark. It turned out it was the coldest night in three years and my hands were going numb even with a pair of ski gloves on.
