On our way back home from NYC, we thought we were going to miss the Northern Lights show, as we were not back home in Michigan, but in Pittsburgh for the evening. Took a wild-ass guess as to where it would be light-limited in that area and found Raccoon Creek State Park. This is from about 11:30pm, after we chatted with the park ranger and Paula showed him how to take these kinds of shots with his iPhone.

Spent time with family in the U.P. this past weekend. Enjoyed some great food and exploring the area. And we sat out by the lake and had a nice bon-fire and enjoyed the night skies over the cabin... Our universe is amazing!

Went out to work with my new camera and saw that this memorial garden of poppies was blooming out in Fennville at the United Methodist Church cemetery. If you go, please respect the rules and don't go walking through the flowers... Thanks.

It's been a long time since I did any product photography, so I thought I'd try some today. There are things to work out and fix, but not bad for 30 minutes of playing around, I'd have to say...

Images from Sunday's maternity shoot for our daughter, Samantha. My amazing "assistant" wife, Paula Makowski helped Sammie feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. And we tried some new (for us) lighting techniques that turned out really well. Now we wait for the babies to arrive so we can shoot newborn images!
