Piece description from the artist
A star-filled sky with a touch of the northern lights hangs above Glen Haven, MI.
On the eastern shore of Lake Michigan sits Glen Haven, a company town formed before the civil war to provide steamers with lumber as fuel. As cars and trucks became more popular forms of transportation, it gradually lost its significance. Today Glen Haven is a de facto ghost town and is empty at night, apart from the sounds of crashing waves and the sight of faint wisps of the Aurora Borealis.
In the moments before dawn, just before the sun spills over the horizon and across the landscape, I always smile with anticipation as I wait for the show to begin.
I savor the days when I’m alone in nature, witnessing the world in all its perfection and capturing those fleeting moments of natural beauty.
I love the craft of photography and the entire process of earning a photo that makes me proud- even the disappointing days when my shutter doesn’t click once. The white-out blizzards, stormy nights, and grueling hikes are always worth the dazzling golden sunrises, crimson last gasps of sun at day's end, and the crystal clear night skies staring out into infinity.
It’s all a humble reminder that nature is always in charge, and no two days are the same.
Ultimately, I’m just a guy who loves to see the world, appreciate its beauty and attempts to do it justice with my lens.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
