Come sit, girl, and be happy – photo provided by author One of my favorite aspects of street photography in the suburbs is the neighborhoods themselves are full of character. You can usually count on at least a few houses where the residents see their front yard as a place to express themselves: their beliefs,ContinueContinue reading “The Chair (Chelsea, MI)”

Day Trippin’: Chelsea, MI
Got out of the house on Sunday, with my partner in love and wandering, to do some street photography in a small theatre town just outside Ann Arbor. It was a beautiful, sunny day — “second summer” is a common event in Michigan in mid-autumn — so we grabbed our cameras and strolled around townContinueContinue reading “Day Trippin’: Chelsea, MI”

The power of a name – photo provided by author When I was a kid and learning how to write, I would write my H’s, over and over again. Which soon became my full name, again, writing it over and over and over. I loved how it looked on paper, bunched together and spread outContinueContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #8”
Petoskey, MI Photo Series #5
Safe-cationing on the Pier – photo provided by author Being in the throes of the pandemic and more than slightly risk-averse, our safe-cation in Petoskey consisted of significant crowd-dodging and scoping out outdoor patio seating from several blocks away prior to setting our course. As a result, we spent our time trying to hit theContinueContinue reading “Petoskey, MI Photo Series #5”

Andy Warhol inspired photos at the MoMA – photo provided by author My favorite part of the Warhol exhibit was not his shots, and not necessarily the shots that other people took that were inspired by his style (although that was its own kind of fascinating), but taking a shot of the people looking atContinueContinue reading “New York, NY Photo Series #4”
Ocho Rios, Jamaica Photo Series #2
Cloudy day on the beach – photo provided by author One of many cloudy, breezy, lazy days at an all-inclusive resort on the northeast side of Jamaica in 2019.

Futility in Petoskey – photo provided by author Taken during a “safe-cation” earlier this year, and yes, of course people were swimming. Why would they do anything else?

New York, NY Photo Series #3
The Met – photo provided by author File this in the “who doesn’t get this shot” section of my portfolio, but really, shame on me if I didn’t get some variation of this shot. The Met was incredible. It was sensory overload. It was magnificent, daunting, and intimidating. I hear it isn’t what it usedContinueContinue reading “New York, NY Photo Series #3”
NOLA Photo Series #7
The residents welcome us to town – photo provided by author One of many unique decor choices in NOLA. Keep in mind, this was taken in April. But then again, it’s New Orleans, where every day may as well be the day of the dead, so drink and be merry, for you know the rest.ContinueContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #7”
Day Trippin’: Algonac and Saint Clair, MI
“Comfort zone is a delusion.”― Fahim Khan When I like something, I like to really like it. I go deep, all-in, especially if it’s something that I’ve been introduced to by someone I treasure. I like to think I surround myself with people of tantalizing taste — they don’t shift with the breezes of the latestContinueContinue reading “Day Trippin’: Algonac and Saint Clair, MI”
