Displaying the world from a unique perspective.
"Into the wind"

I took a short trip to Wisconsin Point during some heavy winds and captured this image. The tall grass was being blown around, and the evening skies were beginning to emerge.

Take a moment to enjoy the transition of seasons.

A northern break can help you unwind from the dramas of the world.

In the madness of the world. Sometimes, you just have to stand still.

You're not alone.

The constant grind of daily life can require us to just take a moment and enjoy the sights.

The temps warmed up above freezing today, and I was in the mood to capture something special along Lake Superior.

The rock island contrasts the colorful vibrant skies, giving this beautiful 3 image panoramic seascape a relaxing vibe.

The scene that I was greeted with this morning along the shores of Lake Superior. The vibrant light was very brief, but it displayed its beauty for those who witnessed it.

The feeling of the day is coming to an end.

I had this area to myself, and to capture this moment and take it in fully was something I cherished.

I call this one "Evening Pleasure"

After a somewhat emotional drive this evening, I wanted to stop at Tahquamenon Falls.

This was a bucket list location for me for a long time.

God was definitely shining his light on this stage, and I can't deny that.

The Lake Superior version of the salt flats but with ice and sea smoke.

Going back to late October 2024, when I captured the tail end of the Milky Way and the C-23 ATLAS comet, I didn't have much of a foreground nearby.

The lamp post that I did see was the only means of a sense of depth.

One of my favorite moments in the seasmoke along Lake Superior.

This unique composition of rocks along the shoreline caught my attention as I felt drawn to capture this scene.

The end of my autumn adventure during this last October. I ended my trip to Northern Wisconsin, where I started to head back to Minnesota.

This field screamed out "farm life" vibes, and I made it a mission to capture this.

One of my favorite spots along the Shores of Lake Superior is the Tombolo.

I'm looking forward to returning here during tue winter months to capture this covered in ice.

The beauty of capturing moments during the colder mornings.

This was taken last week on the colder days along Lake Superior.

If you follow my IG, then you know there's some Lake Superior goodness coming at you and more.

I'll start with an image that hasn't been posted to IG yet.
