Behind About the Home in Grand Ledge, Michigan.

Portland's just incredibly photogenic.... Kent Street's commercial row in Portland, Michigan, as viewed from the Grand River Avenue bridge.

This is the barn/garage/whatever on the grounds beside the Portland Municipal Dam, with the dam in the background of this photo. As you can see, the building's in rather poor repair.

The same robin, a minute or so before the Peekaboo picture .

The backside of Mulliken's Main Street in the background, shot from Railroad Street. That's the CSX (formerly Pere Marquette) mainline running off toward the horizon. After a (necessary) break I'm starting to take photography seriously again. I can tell because I've started thinking of photos as technical problems, even with the fairly limiting camera that took this photo. (FWIW: That's a reaction to the light-colored stripe at the bottom of the sky....) And early on my framing turns weird for a while.

Some days you wake up with an idea in your head. A year ago today that idea was Nashville. Michigan's Nashville's a village on the edge of Barry County. It's not a big place--about 1600 souls--but it sprawls along the Thornapple River in a fashion that gives the impression of a rather larger community. The long central business district, in particular, seems like the heart of a small city, stretching most of a mile on M-66. My specific idea was to find some photographs in Putnam Park, but the park turned out to be less interesting than I remembered. So I walked down Main Street with my camera, photographing the businesses as I passed them; one of those became the 366 Snaps photo. Then I ducked behind the storefronts on the west side, where I remembered a ballyard and the river--and found a ballyard and the river. I'd forgot the long parking lot, though. I also found these stairways.... The town was named for a railroad engineer, which hardly explains anything. For several years there was a country music park just west of town, but it turned out this Nashville's too far from everywhere to make that profitable. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
