Thought I’d share an image from a recent shoot at the Michigan CapitoI.

This photo shows the rostrum of the Senate chamber. This piece of Michigan history is beautiful from any angle, but to showcase this much carved wood, I placed over a doze A quick thank you to @smithsonianmagazine for dropping two of my images into “Editors Pick.”

By the way, a few shots of mine have been entered into a Smithsonian Magazine competition and two were tossed into Editors' Pick. Kinda cool.

* I’m ramping up for 2026 with a refreshed IG handle. Fifty years. :::CLICK!::: Shooting some gnarly autumn weather at Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Michigan.

#lakemichigan A small slice of GR looking NW from the top of the Heritage Hill on a warm (and smoky) late summer evening while testing a new lens.  Rapidians will recognize a slew of landmarks in this narrow shot, including (from nearest to farthest) The JP Morgan The Michigan Capitol building on the evening of September 7, 2025.  Some new additions to the state-of-the-art LED exterior lighting are now complete.  The lights continuously change as the sun sets and skies darken.  It’s fascinating to watch. The calendar may say autumn has almost arrived, but here on the Fresh Coast, surf’s up!
