This is a female Goat named Giselle. She lives at the Tollgate Farm in Novi which is run by the Michigan State Extension service. The 4H group handles the day to day care of her. A female goat is called a Doe. The Tollgate farm has three such goats on display at the Michigan State Fair right now. People can walk up and pet them if they like as they are very friendly.

As I posted an exterior view of the Chapel in the Woods - Hartwick Pines State Park yesterday, I am postting the interior view today. The chapel is very small, so I used a wide angle lens to capture as much as I could in one view. Then by using a tripod, shot a four-shot HDR photo, with the last one including a flash so I could balance the dark interior with the bright exterior light through the class of the cross.

Hartwick Pines State Park represents one of the last stands of the White Pine. This state park has a visitor's center, campground and a museum dedicated to the labors of the Michigan Lumberjack of the 1800's. They also have a chapel in the woods. It is a small chapel, large enough for a small wedding, but the log cabin style of building takes you back in history.

Linda and I returned from Vacation early, so we chose to use our membership and visit the Detroit Institute of Arts. For fifty years I have marveled at this brass statue of the Donkey by German sculptor Renee Sintenis (1888-1965). It was purchased by the DIA to be the ONLY exhibit that they want you to touch and feel the texture. I am reminded of a similar brass statue in Florence Italy of a wild boar. Tourists are encouraged to touch and rub its snout. Legend says that if you do so the fates will allow you to return to Florence. These two statues have been touched and rubbed so much that the snout on both is smooth and shinny and without texture.

This is a Green Anemone (Anthoopleura xanthogrammica). I photographed this at Olympic National Park in Washington State at Ruby Beach. It is a large predatory marine invertebrate found in the rocky tide pools of the Pacific coast of North America. It can live up to 150 years in the wild but only about half of that in captivity. It uses its stinging tentacles called nematocysts to paralyze their prey, then surround them to eat them. They primarily eat crabs, mussels, sea urchins and small fish. This was shot at low tide while it was still completely submerged.

Here is one from the archives. I did my undergraduate thesis on Sports Photography while attending the College for Creative Studies. This would be around 1975. I did a lot of work back in the days when Detroit had their own professional tennis team. They played at Cobo Hall. The league was sponsored by Virginia Slims ci******es. This is Margaret Court serving at one of the matches.

This is Xiao Jackson modeling at Midwest photography Workshops wearing a hand crafted mask that I purchased in Venice years ago. The black mask and the black background contribute to the mystery of the model (Except that I actually told you her name).

Kai Nipper and his parents wanted a different kind of senior portraits as he was about to graduate from high school. He was a strong acedemic student who was shy, but very talented. So we went to an abanonded building in Detroit for the shoot. As we tried to spice up his shy personality, I asked him to unbutton his shirt to give us that rock star persona. I knew it would make him uncomfortable, but what a difference it made to the emotional content of the photo! He ended up liking this photo the best. I drove by the building one week later and the building was gone.

Linda and I were driving through Arizona just outside of Flagstaff. We pulled to the side of the road to meet this mountain man giving his mules a rest from pulling the wagon into town. He lives as a hermit and goes into town twice a year for supplies. We were intrigued by his persona and attitude.
