I always thought it would be great if someone started a meetup for Michigan photographers ala the regional groups at photoblogs.org.

Another couple of Michigan photographers checking in here…
I'm Kate Sumbler (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ktpupp/) and my husband is Rob Sumbler, (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sumbler/). Rob's strawberries and asparagus pics were recently featured on absolutemichigan.com.
There's a few groups on Flickr for various cities in Michigan, including a group for East Lansing that I started. In the EL group we are talking about getting a meet-up planned to wander the city and take pics together, maybe hang out at Peanut Barrel afterwards… (http://www.flickr.com/groups/eastlansing/)
Sorry Kate! We got 4 comments last night – the three spam ones were allowed but yours was held for moderation – go figure! -Andrew

I belong to the Michigan Virtual Assistants group and we are designing a new website. We would welcome any artists to submit their photographs for consideration on our Home page that will include artist recognition and contact information. We do not have funds to pay for artwork at this time, however, we would love to feature a photo from Michigan.

Wonder what happened to Paul Rose – do you have news? I used to follow his great photos on flickr, and then last March he disappeared from there, no word, no more photos. Anyone know if he’s all right? He certainly made Michigan’s beauty show up on the web: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinestar/

help!
i need help locating a photo that was in a store in mackinaw city. the store is no longer there. the photo was taken by a michigan photgrapher. not sure how to find it but i have resorted to the big wide web and i am still having trouble.
the photo was of 5 deer in the fog. you couldn’t see the deer when you glanced at the photo but if you looked closely, you could see them all in line-all in a different position and all looking at the camera. it is a great photo and i should have just bought it when i saw it but i missed the opportunity. now i can’t find it and it has been haunting me for about 3yrs. can anyone tell me how i could locate it?
the store i visited didn’t seem to know.
March 4, 2010 at 10:51 am
Whenever I think of deer photos I think of Carl Sams. I quickly checked his website and think I found the photo you describe. Check out: http://www.carlsams.com/gallery/deer/deer.htm

My name is Ruben, I wanted to say I’m not from this town but I like old pictures. The old days and the simplier way live was and looked stays in my memory as a kid. As a kid I can remember till the age of five which would put me in 1968 and thats what I remember seeing lots of old cars and 68 on down. In 1968 My family had a 1954 chevy and 1956 chevy. There were still lots of 50s, 40s, and some 30s and of course 60s cars but the Times were still simplier. Thanks for letting me see your side of town. Ruben

My two Michigan albums are there – one of the Mackinac Island & Bridge area, the other of Northern Michigan, both UP and Thumb areas. The “Northern Michigan, Seasons, Sunrises, Beaches, Waterfalls, Mountains” album is well over a half million views and 75,000 downloads. (Free.) The Mackinac Island album is over 250,000 views. They are (at present) the #1 and #2 Michigan albums for Webshots photohosting. Some of the pictures are specifically composed and cropped for desktop use, including some for WXGA aspect ratio.

I enjoy taking and viewing nature photos and I think Michigan has some of the best nature around. My sights are http://myphotographymypassion.blogspot.com with my nature photos and http://lifewiththewoods.blogspot.com this is about my family’s daily life and our adventures many of them involving activities out of doors.
October 23, 2008 at 9:12 am
I rarely leave the state of Michigan these days so, most of my photos are from the great out of doors in Michigan – mainly St. Clair County.
My own yard (12 acres) is always changing with each season. If I sit still long enough I’ll see the deer making their daily migration from the east to the west then back again.

Haven’t even had a chance to photograph much in Michigan except the Harbor Country and Warren Dunes State Park. Warren Dunes has become my favorite place. These images can also be seen on flickr.com. Go to mill8char’s photostream slash warren dunes state park. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I have enjoyed taking them! Charles
