If you sift through all the distractions there is a flower or two in there somewhere.

Sometimes the skies are more impressive than all that fresh water, but together, they're incredible!

Bob, your display is great. Next time you are in the area be sure to take the mail boat from Leland out to South Manitou Island. The lighthouse still stands. Ask the skipper nicely and you may see the old "Crib" that is now in private ownership. While not a lighthouse in the original sense it was used by freighters to navigate the Manitou Passage. GPS turned out the lights from the houses. Thanx for sharing these.
David, I was a navigator in the Navy when we used to use sextants for celestial fixes, LORAN for electronic fixes, and navigational lights ( as in lighthouses) for terrestrial fixes. If GPS ever goes down, I hope these young sailors remember how to navigate "old school"!

Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state (115), even more than Maine, "the lighthouse state". I don't fancy myself a lighthouse photographer as such and haven't collected an image-list of famous maritime structures but I AM enamored with the many moods and seasonal changes of the Elberta, Frankfort, Pt. Betsie, Old Mission, and Charlevoix lighthouses of NW Michigan.

Bob, I find you work consistently excellent and challenging in both its technical aspects and its emotion impact. I am awaiting your book on PS Techniques, should you decide to publish one. I think what you have done (also with the leaves a couple of days ago) prove that photography is, indeed, an art form worth pursuing. I look forward to your future displays of art. -Bill
Tinker, you may not have to wait too long.. Over the years, I have written a number of tutorials decribing exactly how I accomplished my effects. Click on Search at the top of the, then the link that says Advanced Search.. In the Subject: type Tutorial, under Section: leave All Sections as is, then under User Name: type Bob Yankle.. This will provide you with hyperlinks to my past work.
The last I looked there were 18 tutorials in the collection
Let me know if you were able to find them.

Were you a "goody two shoes" or did you jump into puddles to see if you could fill your boots with water? I would get home and my mother would want to know what I was thinking, WHACK.
Somewhere in between - I would stomp in the puddles to see how big a splash I could make.. If the wave got above my knees I had hit the sweet spot.

Over the years at UHH i have tried my hand at a number of "styles", wondering where, exactly, I fit in the wide range of photographic disciplines. I have dabbled in b&w inversion, cyanotype, solarization, low key, high key, minimalism, fantasy, high contrast monotone, pointilism and historic rendering.. As I fancy words almost as much as post-processing images, I added my own names to my various collections, and you can read them in the captions below. It is a body of work that I am very proud of.

These are rendition of "air plants" from a local nursery. Evidently they extract all nutrients from water and air.

Frank, all Kabuki actors are male, although some portray women in a play.
