My submission for today’s Wordless Wednesday is entitled “Water Play.” Detroit, Mich. — September 2026.

Hello, friends. How was your weekend? We had busy weekend Saturday and Sunday out and about, visiting a September 11th exhibit, spending an afternoon at the art museum, and enjoying a picnic in the park.

Hi, friends. Hope you had a good week. What are your weekend plans? I’m hoping to check out a local antique pop-up market and visit the art museum.
In honor of September 11th, here are three things to reflect on this Friday.
Remembering Betty Ong. “Woman who answered flight attendant’s historic 9/11 call recalls her bravery.”
This month, I am diving into photography books. I took a two-year break from my city and street photography, and this summer, I knew it was time to pick up my camera again.
I requested a bunch more photography books from a few libraries, but these four books will be a nice start.

Hi, friends! How was your weekend?
We had so much fun at the Detroit Jazz Festival! We kicked off our weekend by attending a Jazz Mass in Detroit. The worship music was wonderfully uplifting, and the entire Mass celebration was absolutely beautiful.



Happy Friday, y’all! What are you up to this weekend? We’re going to the Detroit Jazz Festival, and I am so excited because it’s going to be our first time attending the festival!
We’ve lived here for over a decade, and I can’t believe I’ve never been to the Jazz Festival. I’m a BIG jazz lover, so I’m looking forward to hearing live jazz music and taking photographs of our experience.
Here are four fun things for your Friday…



“Summer bubbles.” Detroit, Michigan — July 2023. As summer is winding down in Michigan, I find myself looking back on summers past through my city photographs.💜 XO



My submission for today’s Wordless Wednesday is entitled “The Graffiti Train.” Warren, Mich. — August 2026.
Continue reading “Wordless Wednesday: The Graffiti Train”A Pee-Wee Herman sticker. It’s not the “best thing” I’ve ever found randomly on the street, but it’s certainly one of the funniest things I’ve recently found.
Last Saturday, Travis and I were walking at the farmers market, when I noticed a Pee-Wee Herman sticker on the public restroom sign. Then, as we were walking back to our car, I spotted another Pee-Wee Herman sticker on the parking garage window.
One of the things I love about photographing the city is you always find random surprises. It’s like a photography treasure hunt.
💜 XO
