This trip demanded everything

If dealing with snow, mud, wind and rain wasn't enough, the Upper Peninsula gifted me with some thunderstorms. It was a constant struggle against the conditions, but the images I made there were well worth the fight.

Photography Plans vs Reality (from the Upper Peninsula, Michigan)

I continue my road trip across Michigan as I enter the Upper Peninsula. My first time up here, and so many things don't go according to plan. If not covered in snow, roads are flooded; many parks and spots I want to visit are closed; trails are full of mud. But the good thing is, I have the whole place (or whatever is accessible) for myself.

The practice of seeing

Some ways a daily photography practice can improve your photography.

The first days are the hardest

A photography road trip is a big change from our everyday life. New routines (or the lack of one), habits, motions, and mindset. It takes a while getting used to it, and that's why the first days are the hardest. As I hit the road again, I try to make it easy on myself by visiting a location I'm familiar with, in Northern Michigan.
