Thanks, Tom
It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.
Thomas Jefferson

Home, Through an Outsider’s Eyes
I’m not even convinced the internet exists here.
In Those Days | Iamcartermoore | VSCO Journal
It’s so interesting to see your hometown through an outsider’s eyes. Here, Carter Moore takes us on a tour of Jackson (with a bit of Brooklyn), Michigan, where I’m from.
His images, commentary, and story are all great.
Camera Review: Canon EOS M
After toying around with the mirrorless camera world, I got to appreciate the conveniences – what I call the throw-it-in-the-car effect. Mirrorless cameras like the Fuji X100 are light, small, and not prone to bang into things with a lens sticking out of the front.
Two years after purchase, I still love my Canon EOS M. I just had someone ask me about it on Flickr, and thought I’d share my review again.
It’s a great little camera as long as you accept its limitations.
Elegantly Wasted
Love Pierre Winther’s album photo for INXS’s Elegantly Wasted.
The colors, the cinematic scene-setting, the light. Lovely stuff. Check out Pierre’s other work.
Figure Out
To figure out what kind of photographer you want to become, figure out what kind of photographer you don’t want to be like.
Tollander Tree Farm
Rebecca
Turtle!
Had lots of fun exploring Tollander Christmas Tree Farm up near Port Huron, Michigan, for my good friends Chris and Rebecca’s wedding.
It’s going to be a great wedding in a classy rural setting. The location will be fun for photos.
And hey, we even found a turtle crossing one of the farm lanes. That’s good luck, right?
Wayne is working on getting more wedding and event business at the farm. It’s a great location (and very affordable) – give them a ring.
Showing Signs of Life
Showing Signs of Life – Horton, Michigan
I do love summers in Michigan, but man – the other seasons offer so much more, visually. In fall, you have the colors. Winter has frost and ice. Spring has the whole Earth waking up (like here).
Summer? It’s all green.
Between Itself and Us
Between Itself and Us – Concord, Michigan
Cool busted bridge down on the Kalamazoo River, between Albion and Concord.
Brian Vander Ark Live
Brian Vander Ark is one of my musical heroes. He’s a local guy (from Grand Rapids, Michigan) who has worked awfully hard to get where he’s at.
It starts with The Verve Pipe, of course. Everyone’s heard The Big Hit, but the whole Verve Pipe catalog is great. I catch them (almost) every year in Ferndale, Michigan, for their holiday concert.
Brian takes his solo show on the road, and a few weeks back he came to Albion to perform at the restored Bohm Theatre.
Channing and Quinn joined him on stage for a few trio songs, too, and the whole show was really great. Brian snuck a few Verve Pipe songs into the set, and lot of his solo songs and covers.
He put on a great show for the audience that turned out on a spring Sunday evening, and it was great to shake hands with him before the show and introduce myself.
