I love getting creative with my photography. Too often, you see the same shots taken from the same spots. Living in a small town like Mackinaw City, I've realized that once you've captured every corner of town, it's time to start thinking outside the box. I use the surroundings around me to make those familiar shots more interesting and unique. Enjoy some of these fun, creative shots I've taken from all over!

This was during a parade, I got in the middle of the road and knelt down.

Down in front...

The beginning of my crystal ball adventures...

Rock skipping on the lake at sunset after I took PLENTY of normal sunset shots...

The beach through my detached lens filter. Somtimes framing is KEY!

Sometimes you have to look through somebody else's lens to see the big picture...

The Mighty Mac through my sunglasses.

I was almost sitting in a mud puddle to get this one...
