Ice Age Trail Thousand-Miler and a photojournalist documenting Wisconsin and the Ice Age Trail.

Nazan and I spent a week on vacation camping in Wyalusing State Park and Wildcat Mountain State Park. We had one of the campsites on top of the bluff at Wyalusing overlooking the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers. Being a professional photographer, I get to travel, but once in a while I take a real vacation and leave the “real” cameras at home. I did take a few rolls of film with a Holga plastic camera and a pinhole camera. You’ll have to wait to see them until I develop the film!

Nice spot for morning coffee!

This weekend you can find me with my Ice Age Trail book at the Cafe Wren stop of the Open Doors Art Tour in Luck, Wisconsin. Cafe Wren is a great small town coffee shop I featured in the book on pages 220 and 221. It will be great to be back in Luck and Cafe Wren!

A little about Cafe Wren from the book- “Stephanie Lundeen is the owner of Café Wren, located a half-mile north of Luck where the business motto is, “Serving up food, coffee, art, health and happiness since 2003.” Stephanie is active in the Luck community and a supporter of the Ice Age Trail and the Gandy Dancer State Trail, both of which run right behind the cafe, offering travelers a spot to eat, enjoy some local art, and take a break from their journey. I must have had a dozen people recommend that I stop in Café Wren and meet Stephanie when I was passing through Luck. By far, it was the most recommended stop when I was planning this trip. It was good advice, not only for the food and atmosphere, but to meet Stephanie and her crew. She is clearly someone who cares about her community, and I can confidently pass on that recommendation to stop at Café Wren.”

The last time I was at Cafe Wren in Luck, WI… I walked there! Next weekend I’m returning with the completed book. I’ll be in the Cafe Wren stop of the Open Doors Art Tour with some art and the books. I featured Cafe Wren on pages 220-221. This will be the first time I’ve done an art fair on the west end of the Ice Age Trail. I’m looking forward to it.

This year's workshops are almost full! There's only two spots left in the Door County Workshop. I'm looking forward to photographing the beautiful state of Wisconsin with some of you.

I took a little trip last week to see the sandhill crane migration on the Platte River in Nebraska. It’s one of North America’s great migration events and it’s simply amazing to witness in person. The photos can never come close to doing it justice. But it was a fun getaway in Miss Goldfinch to kick off the camping season. I’m looking forward to getting out more as the weather warms up.

You can catch me this weekend at Olbrich Gardens at the Fine art & Craft Sale. I'll have my Ice Age Trail photography as well as my darkroom prints. Plus I'll have my Ice Age Trail Book and Pinhole Book too. Saturday and Sunday from 10-4. https://www.fineartandcraftsale.com/

Nicer weather will be here before you know it! ! My Details in Nature workshop is full, but I’m starting a waitlist. If I get 4 on the waitlist I’ll add another workshop date. The Driftless Workshop and Door County Workshop still have spots left. It’s not too early to start making your photography plans for when it warms up.

Here are some of my favorite photos from 2025. All of these are from Wisconsin, which I hope demonstrates you don't need to travel to exotic locations to enjoy the art of photography. You just need to get outside in the place you call home.

My 2026 workshops are open for booking. I've got three workshops again next year. I'm looking forward to making some new friends and seeing some old friends as we photograph our beautiful state together.
