VISION Photo recently was able to witness the great migration of the Sandhill Crane Population.
With low light levels- VISION Photo crafted each image into a high contrast pattern rather than produce photos of poor light quality. I hope you enjoy the flight patterns of these mystical birds.

VISION Photo is just back from the “Teaching Our Traditions” Pow Wow which was held in Brighton, Michigan. The Pow Wow actively taught traditions during the event by using traditional Ojibwe language, having a storytelling tent, serving traditional foods, holding traditional dance w/teachings and by example. A great event.

Nature of Ontario’s North Shore
Just back from a week of working hard on the art of Nature and Landscape photography in Ontario. These Nature and Landscape photos are from Ontario’s North Shore Canadian Park Lands & First Nations. This area is a pristine natural landscape full of life and light. Beautiful.

Walpole Island Pow Wow 2009
For the seasons first outdoor Pow Wow, I could not have asked for a more perfect day- sunny, a slight breeze and so many beautiful dancers!
VISION Photo will be at many Pow Wows and Events in the Michigan, Canada and South Dakota areas this Summer, so if you see me in my VISION Photo T-shirt, come up and say hello! I can easily give prints to those who are in the photographs and I can even email you an album if you stop by and write down your email.
Happy Summer!
