As photographers we all struggle to gain control over light, exposure, and composition all on a never ending quest to make the perfect image...in the end, only being truly happy with those little honest mistakes that just seem to claim themselves as art (thank God you were the one that released the shutter) and we are then comforted in our egos by the effort put forth in getting us to that

...over a Makers Mark I sat down with "These United States", like hooking up with that friend you have not seen in a million years it was like no time had passed and we just picked up where we had last left off. Collectively "These United States" is a band made up of multi-talented musicians with roots spread from Illinois to Kentucky. Based out of the D.C area, these guys lay down a straight

On the cusp of Halloween night was the 40th anniversary of the Detroit legendary rock group MC5. In the stream of a new documentary currently being filmed to honor MC5, a "To the Day" blow out bash was held at the Crofoot Ball Room in Pontiac Michigan. Featuring 18 local groups consisting of new sounds in music from Detroit bands like "Lies Unknown" on through national spotlight acts like "The

Sometimes you stare at the lights and you are blinded, others, you are swept into a time of contemplation, emotion or awe. While photographing the recent Joe Satriani concert at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Royal Oak Michigan, I stared into the lights and was blown away. Shifting gears, these days, in an attempt to expand my photography and the portfolio I am developing; I can not figure why I

With the release of the new D700 DSLR and knowing Nikon's past history of "bait and switch" one may not need to much of a crystal ball to figure a re-vamp of prime lenses could be in the works.I have been hunting camera shops U.S wide and nobody has them in stock, they are all back ordered from Nikon. All though I
