Close call

This is how close I came to being one toe lighter today. Long story short- dishes were getting put away, this knife was on the counter, a guardian angel made my feet move faster than I've ever been able to make them move, then I took the photo.

Lord

I met this man today who was blind. He has never had the gift of sight yet he's learned to adjust and make the most of his situation. He was super cool and as quick-witted as they come. He was an inspiration today.

Ice Fishing

Yesterday afternoon my friend Brent was ice fishing about five minutes from an assignment I was shooting so I headed over there to see how things were going and this is his shanty.

Winterfest

15th annual New Baltimore International Ice Fishing Tournament.

snowin'

One minute there was nothing, next minute there was this...that's Michigan for ya.

Say cheeeese

So much for viewfinders.

road rage

Sorry for the lack of photos. I shot four videos, all hockey games, this last weekend so it was pretty busy. I was going to post some photos from the video but it just didn't feel right, or look right, yet. On to the blog.

This car was so close for the duration of my commute to work that I felt the need to share the moment. Today I was paid back for all those times I would be driving behind a Buick and wishing they would go faster.

Gerald

Gerald's great grandfather was in the Civil War and I before he could pose a picture of himself showing me the photo, I took a picture of him looking for the photo. so sneaky. Gerald was cool anyhow, he was telling me how much he enjoyed the internet and how it took him a while to get used to it because of his age. However his son works for IBM so Gerald's at an unfair advantage. Add to that a pocket protector (with ruler) and you have man who's ready for anything. Thanks for the conversation Gerald.

Sunday hockey

Ok, here's more hockey photos ! I know I've been posting a lot of hockey lately, but that's what I've been shooting lately.

Hockey season

Since I'm the evening shooter and it's that time of year again, I've been shooting a lot of hockey lately. I shot these two guys watching hockey from the exact same location and here are the two shots. One was shot yesterday, the other one today.
