The Great Pumpkin


The Great Pumpkin, originally uploaded by A. Savage.

I'm posting this in honor of my father whose favorite holiday was halloween. Every year until I was 18 we carved pumpkins together. They were all night projects carving crazy detailed pumpkins.

This photo was taken in college for my senior project of mixed lighting. It was taken with a Pentex K1000 inherited from my father. I'm posting as a thank you to my dad who gave me both an appreciation for the carved pumpkin and a love for photography.

Dexter Michigan and me


Dexter Michigan and me, originally uploaded by A. Savage.

It's official, I will be co-owning a small gallery in downtown Dexter, Michigan starting in November. I will also have a space in the gallery to display my work. This will be the first time I have shown in a gallery and although I think I'm ready I am a bit nervous.

I made this poster in honor of the town I chose to live in. If you've ever driven into Dexter from D19 before you enter the town you drive under this old beautiful railroad bridge and right before the bridge you get a glimpse of downtown Dexter, and it's a lovely first view of the old buildings. This poster is made up of the windows in downtown Dexter.

My official opening is November 21.

Indian Summer


Indian Summer, originally uploaded by A. Savage.

In Michigan we had one Indian summer day. It was on Wednesday and it was beautiful. We spent the day kayaking down the Huron river with my panoramic equipment and although the sun was not out much it came out in this particular spot at just the right moment. This is a 360-degree panoramic image taken in the water. And yes, the water was very cold!

This tree lives up the street from my house and every year I'm giddy waiting for it to change. This is a 360˙ panoramic taken under it's huge branches.

Virtually hang out under it

Lovely dragonfly

This beautiful dragonfly, alive but sluggish, spends his last few days in the garden. I think I'd like to spend my last few days in a garden as well.
