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!
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 hope you all had an awesome holiday season! I know we did! I gotta say, we just love our family and friends so much.
I love it, what a terrific summary of 2011 closing events. Well Hammered!
We had a fabulous holiday season, busy yet delightful, thanks to all our family and friends for making it so special. As always, Benjj you did a great job capturing it :)
Your new web site “look” is terrific… the pace and variety are dynamite. I know this represents a boat load of hard work and it really shows. God bless your efforts, mr.& mrs.derksworks photography. I love your work and I super like you, too!
