Twenty Days

The moon above my house one evening.

Found this still life in a break room at the Castle Museum while I was shooting painters restoring the windows.

An action figure head on the ground in the alley behind my house.

Stumbled upon some kids biking on the river walk one afternoon and got this silhouette.

Went back to the Castle Museum a few days after my first visit to try to get a better shot and I came away with this.

 
They opened a new jail in Midland and let people into certain parts to tour the facilities after the ribbon cutting. I was waiting for a shot on the top bunk in one of the cells and this lady started talking to me when she realized I was in there.

We did a fall color feature story and this is one of the images I turned in from a forest just south of town.

This was another fall color feature I turned in that I found driving some back roads between Saginaw and Flint.

I've seen Fall in full force over the last few weeks here in Saginaw; colorful, cloudy, rainy, cooler and shorter days, plus the end of the regular season for high school sports. Here are some of my favorite images since my last post.

I'm still trying to nail a good vertical panning shot of a diver since I can't use my lights.

On my way back from Midland I went on a drive through some rural back roads and found this railroad bridge just south of Saginaw.

Flew down to Kentucky for a few days last week, been back in Saginaw for well over a week now. Here are some images from the past two weeks, personal and newspaper assignments.
