Are you interested in seeing, and do you ever display photo’s from other Michigan photographers?

You bet we are interested (and do display) work from other Michigan photographers. If you are a Michigan photographer with work online, please feel welcome to post a link to it!

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.

I am interested in purchasing a nice Michigan photograph…as a 15th anniversary present for my husband. He grew up in Huntington Woods, just north of Detroit, in the 70’s and 80’s and went to U of M.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

I am a professional photographer in Troy. I am blessed to take people to experience the wonder of the Serengeti 3 times a year. However, my tag line of ‘Finding beauty in your daily life is as easy as looking for it’, is especially true here in michigan. I have a Michigan gallery at http://www.acaciaphoto.com/michigan.
Nice to see so many fine photos of our beautiful state.

Hi everyone, wonderful to see so many other Michigan photographers. I was really pleased to see the piece on the front about the Shiawassee River. I’m in Owosso and the river is about 100 yards from my front door.

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
