The Jackson Art Association invited me to speak about my photography and portrait projects at their monthly meeting in September 2026 at the Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, Michigan.

Some photos from our local comic, culture, and all things nerdy expo – taken on the Canon EOS M6 and Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 during a rainy afternoon in downtown Jackson, Michigan.

After my wife’s grandmother passed away late last year, we’ve had a lot of…stuff…to sort through.

Someone was there.

This August, we headed back up to Pentwater, Michigan – a beautiful west-coast town along Lake Michigan – for a week of sand, waves, and fellowship with some of our church members at Family Camp.

Last year, Canon released a simple, beginner-friendly, and affordable video-focused camera in the R50V.

A few years back, Zach Snyder painted a hospital tunnel in Jackson with a freehand explosion of psychedelic color, connecting the Anderson Building, once a psychiatric facility, to the main hospital.

There are times when I feel like an archeologist, or one of those National Geographic reporters who delves deep into the Amazon rainforest to discover a long-lost tribe.

For the last leg of our summer holiday, we traveled down to Hale, Michigan, to stay with my dad.

Some bonus photos of the cabins and buildings near our Ironwood, Michigan, rental property.
