25 of 2025: My Favorite Photos of the Year

As happy as we all are to say sayonara to 2025, the year did provide some lovely opportunities for me to snap some sweet shots. Mostly kids and cats, here’s a sampler of my favorite images from the year that was.

Fun Weddings at The Iroquois Club

Just alongside Michigan’s historic Woodward Avenue, a bit north of Detroit, sits a great wedding venue, The Iroquois Club.

I have been fortunate, recently, to photograph some wonderful couples at The Iroquois Club. Here they are, in no particular order of wonderfulness.

No Kings 2.0

The weather was beautiful, the people even more so.

No Kings 2.0 in Troy, Michigan was yet another spectacular protest. Nationally too. More than 2,700 individual rallies sprouted up across the country and on foreign soil, including a single, solitary fellah in Tallinn — the capital of Estonia. About seven million people showed up for Saturday’s rallies – including more than 100,000 people in New York, according to CNN.

It was fantastic and EVERYONE happily, peacefully and very humorously protested.

This was my favorite picture from the day. And I had several of her to choose from!

Imagine yourself taking middle-of-the-night photos with your iPhone balancing on a dragged-over beach chair. Carefully press the button, then jump out in front of the lens, standing still for the remaining 25 seconds.

Michigan does summers really, really well. But nighttimes here can be extraordinary.

Extortion Contortion

I asked ChatGPT, “Would you kindly create an image of a big orange bully extorting money from lawyers, corporations, countries, or TV networks, or all of them?” This is what we finally landed on.

“Where is all the money going?”

That’s a great point. My buddy Bill and I were yapping on the phone this morning and he asked that rather simple question. We were both perplexed about how the Big Bully was getting away with extorting millions and billions from seemingly everybody; corporate America and Academia; law firms and TV networks; foreign countries and even other big billionaires.

Something’s Happening

There’s something happening here. And with apologies to Stephen Stills, what it is IS perfectly clear. People across the country are rising up in record numbers — protesting, packing meeting halls, contacting elected officials, donating billions…

Three New Presidential Dramas

To Help You Avoid All The Presidential Drama

It’s been really rough, tuning into the news these past several months. All of the presidential drama has made us downsize our daily dose of disaster and instead, eagerly engage in escapist entertainment.

So naturally, my wife and I have latched onto three wildly entertaining shows that, ahem, focus on pretend presidents. All of the presidential drama has unprecedentedly pushed us toward presidential dramas. Funny how that works.
