There's a third settlement--besides Mulliken and Hoytville--on Mulliken Road. Gresham's got this excellent church, and a few houses, huddled at a corner out in the middle of nowhere. ========== Always take insurance shots, because not all ideas succeed. Had a plan for a 366 Snaps photo a year ago, but it didn't work out. I'd followed a buggy down the road a few days before, which reminded me that we've Amish neighbors. So I went looking for an "Amish" photograph. No luck. I found a couple good photo opportunities at the school, but I was still fighting with the camera and the results were poor. So my project pic became one of the insurance shots, of the Gresham church. Here's another. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .

Two views of Hoytville. These are an example of my shoot-reframe-refocus-shoot photography habit. Here, too, are two versions of the same photo. The only difference between this and the 366 Snaps photo is the processing. ========== This photograph is a non-outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion and stats for November 22 .

When I first moved here, Mulliken's Methodist church shared its minister and ministry with Sebewa, a small place--not really a town--north and west of our village. A year ago today I made a scouting trip--'twas an intentional effort to expand my range of photographic subjects for 366 Snaps . I was a bit surprised to discover that this stretch of Keefer Highway had been paved, since the last time I looked it was gravel. We're probably talking fifteen years, though. Last April 2 was bright , and I was fighting with my still-unfamiliar camera, so virtually all the trip's pix were overexposed. But I found some useful ideas, and would follow up on them later in the year. ========== The railroad tracks I photographed for 366 Snaps are part of the CSX (former C&O/Chessie, former PM) line through central Michigan. The line used to get fairly heavy traffic from both CSX and SOO, originating from Chicago for the Detroit tunnel and on to Toronto. (Or back.) These days the traffic seems to be mostly local. The pic was snapped at Dow Road, which is the Eaton County extension of (Ionia County's) Keefer, a couple miles south of Sebewa. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
