August was busy and so much fun – and the majority of what I shot was on film so we won’t be seeing those for a while  🙂  I have a feeling my favorite “One” from August is sitting in the lab in some chemicals still waiting to reveal itself to me. Part of the fun of film. This month, we spent a lot of time in Michigan, soaking in the sun, playing in the water, and spending as much time outside enjoying the summer days as we could. No television, no internet, just fresh air, water, bonfires, and good buddies and family to hang out with. Going off the grid every once in a while is pretty good for the soul.

Those of you not from the Chicago area have probably not heard or seen any ads from the “Pure Michigan” campaign. Narrated by Tim Allen and really pure genius, one gets better than the next and they perfectly describe the little slice of heaven that Michigan can be to those of us who know it well.  Each one makes you want to drop everything and jump in your car to get up there as fast as possible.

I shot only a few digital images while we were “Up North” at All Seasons Resort. Here is one that captures a cute little moment, my boys and some of their buddies checking out a bluegill that was caught earlier in the day. That poor little bluegill must have gotten picked up a hundred times. A little bit of Pure Michigan.
