August, 2012 – Lake Superior, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
(I call that set, Trees in the Middle)

This is the light leak you see in a lot of these pictures. I thought I had it fixed… clearly not. I think it works in some of these frames but, I’m pretty sure it needs to be fixed. If you know what the problem is, please feel free to offer suggestions.
Littering doesn’t happen often up there… but when it does, I guess it stays put for a WHILE!
Birthday pancakes from m’dad.
(Shot that lighthouse just for you mom.)
Jumping off the bridge is quite the big deal. I did it for the first time this year. Matt and Josh are much braver than I am.
Lunch with Joel at Katalina (if you’ve never been… it’s a MUST.)
Alex picked up a Speed Graphic the other day… That camera is awesome.
-
love it! Each year you still manage to get new angles that will tell the story for years to come! Thanks Benj!
-
Nice work on the tilt… you don’t pull that one out too often!
-
well hammered, I loved several particularly the outdoor leaves in fore-ground shot!
-
Beautiful wedding my friend!
We went up to Lake Superior in Michigan’s UP and it was amazing! I shot eight rolls of 120 film over the week and I can’t wait to share some of those when I get them back from the lab. In the meanwhile, this blog is gonna be BUSY with like a million other things! It’s gonna be a good week :)
-
I love the lone branch… So cool. Great shots.
We will be out of the office until August 21st and will begin to respond to e-mails and calls starting on the 22nd. Depending on how the mood strikes us we might post a few pictures here on the blog… but I’m not making any promises. Have a great week… (me too)
