So, my website is moving to a different model due to price increases at SmugMug. In the past, you could order prints and downloads on the website and I could pick up some operating money that way. Now if you see an image you like, download it, no charge.
From time to time you will see me retweet items from

and I recommend that you follow them because it is important that we never forget.

Throughout this entire pandemic you have touted that science will make the decisions. Today apparently that is no longer the truth. In the finish of the MHSAA fall sports season, testing returns showed 99.6% returned negative. That is the science.
I honestly do not know if it will amount to anything, but I have submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act asking for the data and analysis that was used to determine that Winter High School sports should not start.
Thoughts and prayers to all who knew Jessica Starr. Depression isn’t always something that you can see. I’ve struggled with it for 10+ yrs highs and lows. Always lift each other up, compliment people and just say hi because you never know what it will mean to that person trust me

While density is a term that I am sure you're quite familiar with, I wonder how one measures that simply through a photograph? I mean I have a feeling you're probably relating it through some Fibonacci sequence or something along those lines but
A PSA before I drift off to dreamland. If you attend your child's high school or junior high sporting event and you feel the need to constantly criticize the officials, stop by the
@MHSAA
page for officials to sign-up to become a registered official.

I mean non-detection does fall inline with the Grump plan for Covid, if we don't test, we don't have it. If we don't see a spy balloon then it doesn't exist.

I'm sorry sir but this is political grandstanding on your part. This is an ongoing FBI investigation. You know damn well that she can't comment and you're only trying to make yourself look better.
My all to quick guesses on 11-man football champs this year.

What a ride the 2020-2021 high school sports season has been. Massive props to the the student athletes, the coaches, the athletic departments, and the
@MHSAA
for making the year happen and finish on time. Hopefully we can look back in 25 years and say it was one for the ages.
A Sunday afternoon reminder for any school that has student photographers out at a game I am at. Have them bother me. Have them ask me questions. That is how we all learn and if there weren't people that let me bother them I wouldn't be in a position to help others.

Pulling out of USA Hockey Arena for the last time in the 2022 boys hockey season. Always a bittersweet moment, I love the tournament I love the fans I love the teams. Here's to another great year next year

He started his complaint out by saying she was really pretty. Totally not relevant to the situation and only shows that he probably had less than altruistic intentions.
If after a loss, you are telling your kid that the only reason they lost a game is because of the officiating, you probably should step away from the game and re-examine your life.

Nothing is irrelevant. That is one of the biggest problems in the humanity. Can you feel like things are irrelevant when in reality everything is linked.
@l1vingdeadgrl_
Are you so limited that you can only focus on one problem at a time? What is going on in Middle East is horrific and equally so what we're doing to our own ecosystem is also horrific. We need to be focusing on all the problems.

I realized that it has been a little over a month since the heart attack with no official update so . . I am doing great. There was no damage to the heart muscle and rehab is going well. Biggest 'drawback' is just getting adjusted to knew eating routines.
Ladies and gentlemen that is a wrap. The 2022- 2022 Michigan High School sports season is over for me. As always thank you very much for putting up with me at your games and I cannot wait for for the fall season to kick off.
So I'm just driving along the highway looking off to my right all of the sudden crap there's a bald eagle sitting on the tree. I back up my daughter hands me my camera don't have any time to adjust about the time I get to him he takes off and I snap a couple of shots.

Before the hockey season ends a huge thank you to Rocky Johnson, Rick Gadwa and Kurt Kivisto for letting me shoot from the penalty box at games this year. Chance for clean shots and I learned a lot about hockey listening to the three of you during games.
Never be cruel, never be cowardly. And never ever eat pears! Remember – hate is always foolish…and love, is always wise.
Always try, to be nice and never fail to be kind.
In order for your administration to continue to block MHSAA athletics, you must have information/data that contrary to that data which you are hiding from the public.
Hey, I managed to get out of USA Hockey Arena before 11:00 tonight! I will be back up and at them tomorrow morning photographing D2, D3, and D1 championship game
2 decades coaching HS hockey and still amazes me that ALL STUDENTS home or away aren’t allowed free admission to all games. Let them watch their classmates and not worry about the 5 bucks! All students are welcomed into FGR games free!

'will you do a favor for me'? Drives me nuts. I mean are you talking something illegal? Are you talking something that's going to cost me a lot of money? I mean yeah, be specific.
@LakeSuperior
Unfortunately it's from last summer at the mouth of the Presque Isle River. You were fairly calm and laid back all week when we were there.
@JodyAnnJob
I am so sorry, I wish I could say something impactful but I can't. The senselessness is just overwhelming. Time to go home and hug my highschooler.
Good night from USA Hockey Arena. Just a couple of more photos to finish up tomorrow and then I will close the book on the 2023 high school hockey season. Thanks to all of the teams that participated to the volunteers, all my colleagues and the

If the first round of the NFL Playoffs looked liked Michigan HS Hockey, then Pittsburgh would play New England in the first round while Buffalo would get a first round bye.
Your chance for greatness is here! If you're one of those amazing individuals that can perfectly officiate a game from the stands, please take the time to investigate opportunities officiating High School sports in Michigan.
I post a lot of sports photos here but I realized that I haven't posted a photo of my lovely and talented wife Mary. Here she is starting out the bike portion of her Sprint triathlon in Mackinaw this year.
I love the style of basketball the Hartland girls team played this evening. they didn't just stand outside the arc and throw up shots they made cuts and passes and drove to the hoop.

do a GREAT job covering high school sports in your areas. They CAN'T do it alone though, if you want coverage, make sure you are turning in your game information

So, I have pretty much had enough. If you are an professional organization that profits by using my work WITHOUT permission we are going to start having conversations. My employers are cutting assignments and some of that is due to unauthorized use of my work that they contracted
