Southwest Michigan Critters

While we were having breakfast outside of the White Rabbit Inn in Lakeside Michigan, this little guy was joining us.

Found this praying mantis outside of an antiques store in Union Pier Michigan. Luckily I had my macro lens nearby in the car.

Burnt Church

Shot in an abandoned, burnt church in Gary, IN. All shot at the exact same spot to keep the dress clean.

7-photo stitch

A 7-photo stitch of the chicago skyline, color edited and saturated. I've been meaning to shoot some large-scale panoramics like this, with the intent of having prints made on canvas and stretchers. A few more and I'll attempt a print run. I'm really looking forward to having a 3ft x 8ft version of something like this - There's so much detail, it mostly gets lost when I try to show it online.

Photo links to a 1500px-version on flickr.

July 4th Bouquet.

I took quite a few shots of fireworks out in Lombard on the 4th, and just found this amongst them.

Empty Subway

The subway in chicago, between stops. I'm fairly sure this is just south of lake. 4 photos stitched together using autopano pro, almost a full 180° straight up to straight down. This would be an impossibly wide angle.

Bahá'í House of Worship

Bahá'í House of Worship, Wilmette, IL

I've seen pictures of this building for years, but never had a chance to go and see it. We happened to be driving south along the lake, and stopped by a few days ago.

The grounds and building are beautiful, its well worth a visit.

3 exposures combined.

Click for larger versions. Getting ready on Michigan Avenue, a ceremony in University Village. After the reception at Carnivale, we went to shoot at a church facade in Pilsen. That was a lot of fun, thanks!

Flickr Win!

The Museum of Science and Industry - formerly the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 worlds fair. A few trees have grown in, and a few statues are missing, but its essentially the same 116 years later. Available here. The modern digital version, click for a bigger one. titanvis_0610_sci_ind Some huge resources are putting their collections on flickr, with no known copyright on many. Like the Smithsonian, Field Museum, Library of Congress, New York Public Library, and some more links here. Many of the photos are up only within the last few months. Fascinating to look through, and a great design resource too.
