Instagrammed
I’ve never been a fan of the whole ‘Instagram’ trend popular amongst iPhone loving hipsters, but sigh… I jumped on the bandwagon when I came across some really decent Photoshop actions that perform the same vintage photo rape. To be honest, I seriously loved the character ‘instagramming’ gave to some photos I took at Higgins Lake in Michigan during the 4th of July weekend.
You can see what I took on 4th of July as well as some other old photographs I took that I did for fun at Flickr.
More Poles and Stuff
Added some more poles to The Little Things gallery on flickr. Liked this one best.
Michigan Drivers
The drive to Ann Arbor from where I reside is about 45 minutes. Since I started carrying my camera around more, I try to capture more spontaneous portraits since I derive the most pleasure in photographing people caught off guard. Sounds creepy, I know… but it’s just fun.

Poles
Took a bunch of (what I think are) clichΓ© shots while driving to Ann Arbor and back. Whatever… I’m calling the gallery ‘The Little Things’ and expanding it from there. We’ll see where it goes. More here.
Back Into It
Since moving to Michigan, I’ve been slowly getting back into taking
photography as a hobby, and not just something I do for MLG. I used to
have the desire to go out and shoot, but over time I don’t know what
happened, I just stopped. Now that I’m living with my boyfriend, he asks
me a lot of technical questions about my camera and once I started
talking about how I shoot certain things and what you can do with the
camera, I started using it more and more.
While driving back from the MLG Columbus event, we stopped in the Detroit area near the
abandoned Michigan Central Depot Train Station.Β I took a couple of
shots of the building and we explored an abandoned house nearby. I
played with the white balance a little to give some of the photos a more
cold blueish hue. Overall, it was refreshing to go out and just shoot. I
liked the results.
