After much investigation and anticipation, I was finally able to photograph two-row barley Friday at Turnwald Farms in Shepherd, Michigan. I will post more photography as I'm able to get through it, most likely tomorrow. Thanks again to Mike Turnwald for his hospitality!

I'm really happy with the way these developed and a few should make it into my architectural portfolio shortly. I love shooting at dusk, and much prefer it to dawn shooting. (!)
On this particular shoot I learned that a lot of people in Royal Oak ride their bicycles alone, listening to music with headphones and singing at the top of their lungs. There were so many people doing this I was actually shocked. Also, for people singing in their cars with the windows down– your voice carries way farther than the music. I could hear everything : )

Some photos from the recent shoot of the Mitchell residence. The exterior dusk shots are to come this week, hopefully shooting tonight.

I'm currently trying to locate growers of barley and/or hops in Michigan for the purpose of photographing the crops in the field and completing this series. If you have any information that may prove helpful, please
contact me.
UPDATE JULY 10, 2008I have now located both two-row barley and hops being grown here in Michigan! Many thanks to Anne at
KalamaBrew and Rex from the
Michigan Beer Guide for their help.

I will be shooting more photography for Erin at
Dirkhund Training this week. Erin is pictured at right with my dog, Uli, looking somewhat crazed. She is currently accepting new clients, so if you have an unruly dog that needs help you can find her at
www.dirkhundtraining.com. Uli is actually really well behaved... so long as she gets her exercise.
Speaking of dog exercise, one of the best things invented for dogs is
WalkyDog - a bicycle attachment allowing dogs to jog along on a bike ride. It has a spring and bungee cord inside to dampen any lunges or outrageous behavior, and it actually works. I can be seen on a regular basis biking around with Uli, sometimes not even peddling...
