Raspberry Season

Pentwater, Michigan.
It’s raspberry season here in Michigan.
Had a blast making family portraits for my good friends, Nate and Kelli, and their kiddos Sophie and Evan.
A lovely night in the park, a giant lollypop as an incentive, and fun family get-together.

A landscape follow up to my favorite little local barn.
Honored to have it featured on Flickr’s Explore.
From a series in Eaton Rapids, Mich.
Nothing like strolling through downtown and seeing a fleet of metal RVs along the downtown streets.
The first thing you notice is the cats. There are some many, and all feral, but not so nervous that they scatter on approach.
No, these cats have seen things. Done things they’re not proud of.
I heard a story about this place. A friend from work misplaced his iPhone, and Find My iPhone placed in here – dead-center in the middle of this abandoned plant.
“Don’t go in there,” a police officer advised him. “Not even we go in there.”
The silly, destructive side of me wants to slip through the fence to get a look. But there’s just enough caution in me to steer clear.
So I walk around a bit, and grab some shots. The caved-in wall. The brick work.
The cats.
