Lake Michigan Windsurfing
One of the many great things about living in northern Michigan is the lakes around us. Whether you simply enjoy relaxing on the pristine beaches or getting involved in one of the many adventure sports on the water, we proudly have some of the best lakes in the world right outside our front door. Windsurfing is a relatively unknown extreme sport in this area with athletes far and few between. Any opportunity I get to photograph a windsurfer I gladly take. The wind on Lake Michigan was perfect this day; a strong, offshore, consistent wind was kicking about two to three foot waves. Below is the series of images I took of Chris Righi windsurfing on the big lake.
Loving Florida Life
Thirty degrees is a huge difference in temperature. This is what I considered before deciding to drive south to Florida with a friend, not long into the new year. Now I sit on a dock overlooking lake Santa Fe, soaking up the sun in 67 degree weather. Looking at the weather back in northern Michigan I don't regret my decision. The friend that brought me down here is now my latest subject. Every afternoon he puts on his wet suit, heads out onto the lake on his stand up jet ski and wrangles it like the bronco it very much acts like.
