We're Back

Photo from The Gathering of the Mustangs, Columbus, OH

We're back, but not from anywhere exciting. The rather lengthy hiatus was due to busy work schedules, family commitments and technology issues. Yes, the everyday work world sometimes interferes with the greater good...which is just plain wrong! Making the world a better place takes time, and some planning.

The cold weather has settled in, here in Michigan, and days are mostly gray and white and scruffy. We used to get lots of "good" snow, snow to play in and enjoy. But winters are getting colder and harsher, and not as easy to enjoy. Global warming may be happening, but I don't see it in my backyard yet, or aren't we looking carefully enough?

At this time of year it's not as easy to pull out the photography gear and head out into the natural world. The rewards, however, are great. Fresh air, sometimes sunshine, and a very different type of nature photo. Each season has its strengths...we just have to work to find them.

In another week we head to family in the Chicago area, then southern California, and, finally, a couple of weeks in Arizona. Warm weather and sunshine beckon...camera batteries are charging...and spirits are on the rise. We plan on returning in mid-January and will be able to fill further orders at that time.


Enjoy the holidays, and take lots of photographs. Preserve those special moments - the time you have with friends and family.

Happy holidays from 4-Points Photography.

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr...

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...

Adventure Spots - Ours and Yours

It's June. Officially a summer month, and one I have always loved. It's also a time when I start thinking about having an adventure...to some beautiful, place more distant than my town. Last summer we had a wonderous trip through the western national parks, and spent a little time on the Oregon coast. The Columbia River gorge is beautiful - lush and exotic, fragrant, and heady with motion and sound. The waterfalls are astounding - and we love Multomah falls particularly. There's an upper and lower falls, with hiking paths for those who want to get up close and personal. The regular tourist path is paved, and leads you to this footbridge, spanning the cliff walls between upper and lower falls. Stunning. Where is one of your favorite adventure spots, and why does it touch your soul?
