Fall in northern Michigan is a time of stark contrasts.I love the crisp colors and chill that comes with fall.It means that snow isn't far away.I started my job search yesterday.I got a job today.That was hard. 

Foundering Cross

I will let the title speak for itself. America needs to believe in itself, again.I think it's too late. 

Nature Steepled

I have made a few changes to the template, here on Joe Citizen.Hopefully, this takes care of the problem that occurs when using a less than optimized screen resolution, for this site.1280 X 1024 is the resolution that I use.I also have a 22" mon

Backwater Trestle

This railroad trestle spans the White River.Anyone know where it is?This shot is along an M-highway.The Muskegon River.What highway number?Take a guess if you don't know. 

Three Thong Thursday

Thursday, 25 October 2007 5:16 A GMT-08
Once again, I'm running low on thong pictures.D, you ready to do a shoot?It would be nice to get one more outside shoot in, too.The temperature this morning was 24°.I won't look for any water shots, though.It's a bit cold for those.Th

Pro-Street Generation

When I was wandering in the woods the other day, this windgenerator caught my eye.It hasn't been maintained in more than ten years, but it still spins freely. From the car show a couple of weekends ago.There are six generations in my wi

Panoramic Elevation

When I was out shooting pictures on Saturday, I carted the tripod along.This one panoramic is the result of five photo's stitched together.The resulting file, at 72 pixels per inch, is 17' wide and nearly 4' tall.In order to appreciate th

Rox Weathered Bubba

I have met so many people in my life.Not many close friends, and no life long friends.Roxanne has been my friend for twenty years, or close enough.We don't see each other often, but when we do, it doesn't matter ifmonths or years have passed.

Serene Rusted Spike

Saturday, 20 October 2007 7:21 A GMT-08
Michigan is fast approaching the winter season.It's nearly November.Although I do not believe that we humans cause global warming,it is evident that the global climate IS changing.I think the real issue will come when it swings into the cold cycl

Dragon Ink

Friday, 19 October 2007 6:32 A GMT-08
Dragonflies are hard to capture with a camera.Although with a big lens it is much easier, I don't have one.Fortunately, I have good luck.This one landed on my arm and posed.It landed on my left forearm.  The camera wasn't set for close-u

Three Thong Thursday

I have wandered a bit from strictly posting thong pictures, on Thursdays.It will still be known as TTT, however.I'm rather fond of these glamour type shots.It's a dark shot, but her jeans were a bit thin.Comments, please.

There are some great places I see to capture fall, mostlythey go unvisited.Not today.   I shot these along U.S.131, a little north of 52 road.Yep, there is a little trickery in the picture above.Like, dislike?This next one is simple.To

Swale Marbled Beams

Tuesday, 16 October 2007 5:03 A GMT-08
The trees are losing their leaves quickly, some never even turned color.This shot is a quarter mile from the highest point in the lower peninsula of Michigan.Not much to see here, but the contrasts caught my eye.This was simply a blah shot, till I sh

Dodge Fall 350

Sunday, 14 October 2007 6:22 P GMT-08
I was driving past the local school, and they were having a car show.Some real classic beauties.I was going to post three fall color pics, but the cars pre-empted them.Only one, this post.Very clean Shelby GT350.It's like a shadow of Eleanor.&nbs

Palette Harvest Ponder

Saturday, 13 October 2007 6:31 A GMT-08
Last fall, I did not take many pictures, my camera was in the repair shop.This year, the colors are simply not as vibrant, due to the drought conditions we endured all summer.There are a few places where the drought doesn't matter.The National We

Creeked Sunflower

Friday, 12 October 2007 7:44 A GMT-08
If there is a more beautiful place in Cadillac, I'm not aware of it.Captured this sunflower by the lakes edge.  Yep, it was trying to escape.Anyone still looking at my blog? 

Three Thong Thursday

As the weeks pass, and the trees lose their leaves, I realize that in order to have a successful photoblog, there needsto be some changes on Joe Citizen.But NOT Three Thong Thursday.I reckon there will have to be another site for my rants and raves,a

I found this spider flying on a thread of silk.Spider had fifteen feet of web out, sailing in the breeze.It was only one strand.There was a bit of rain last night as the front came through.I went to sleep with the windows open, when the alarm wentoff

Three X Three Thong Thursday

Thursday, 4 October 2007 8:21 A GMT-08
I take a lot of flack for Three Thong Thursdays.People always ask what I get out of it, or why I feel the need to postpictures of women that are evocative or erotic.The answer is simple.I'm a man.I will not pretend to be something else. Ever.If y

My friend Ana helps me out with editing techniques.I appreciate it.My friend and I shot this, as the setting sun was turning golden.The eyes are as captured, the remainder is a little desaturated.The last one of this set.Fall colors are starting to p
