It’s been a while since I’ve flown my drone, but I got it out of the closet, updated my FAA license and the drone firmware, watched a video to refresh my flying skills and headed out Friday evening to Belle Isle on the Detroit River. #BlueskyArtShow #Earth #Detroit #DronePhotography

I took this a couple of weeks ago in Campus Martius in downtown Detroit. I call it Cat Woman. #HumansOfBluesky #UrbanGaze #StreetPhotography #Detroit #Photography

I hope I am not boring people with my photographs of kids playing in the Dodge Fountain in Detroit’s Hart Plaza, but here’s another one, taken yesterday. It’s become a favorite stop because it gives me joy photographing these kids having so much fun. #StreetPhotography #Detroit #HartPlaza #SummerFun

Eight years ago I was on the first week of a nearly three-week trip to Spain as part of a photography class. This photo shows a young boy looking out from atop the bell tower at the Catedral de Segovia in Segovia. #StreetPhotography #Spain #TravelPhotography #España

The tail end of the Slow Roll Thursday evening on Gratiot in downtown Detroit. I would guess there were a couple of thousand bikes participating. #SlowRoll #Detroit #Bicycling #Cycling #Biking

I do a lot of street photography and I love it when something like this happens — they saw me with my camera and smiled and waved as they rode the carousel on the Detroit Riverfront Thursday night. Made my night. #StreetPhotography #Detroit #Photography

The light was wonderful Friday afternoon in the Rivera Court, my favorite room in the Detroit Institute of Art. It was a nice way to spend a Friday afternoon out of the wildfire smog outside. #StreetPhotography #Detroit #ArtMuseums #Museums #DIA #goodlight #DiegoRiviera

I like the simplicity of this image — a footprint in the sand about to be erased by the incoming tide. A bit of a metaphor about existence. #Metaphors #Beaches #Footprints #Photography #Symbolism #MinimalistPhotography #Minimalism

The sights and sound of the gently lapping waves of Lake Huron this morning on the beach in Oscoda, Michigan. #GreatLakes #LakeHuron #Michigan #Summer #Shoreline
