We had yet another spectacular day for the No Kings 3.0 rally in Troy, Michigan on Saturday. Featuring a bright blue sky — foretelling the upcoming bright blue wave — Troy’s was one of thousands of rallies across the state, country and WORLD! Reportedly more than eight million people showed up for the combined events, making this the biggest rally in U.S. history.

Missed Movies in the Oscar’s Best Picture Category
After finally seeing all of the 2025 Best Picture nominees for this year’s Academy Awards, as usual, there were some stunning omissions. Even though I’m not really into vampires or Mary Shelley’s monster, I’m all-in on demons, apparently, and those that hunt them while singing.

There, we are not alone.
Look, I know I’ve told you this before and there are a whole bunch of you that likely think I’m a kook. That’s by design; you’re supposed to think I’m kooky. But I tell ya, kids, we’re not the only show in town, not the only cats on the couch.

The crowd was warm & wonderful at Saturday’s freezing ICE OUT rally in Troy, Michigan. In balmy 20 degree grayness, protestors honked and hiked, signaling their outrage at the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis. There were humorous signs, a lot of cathartic noise and a Michigan 11th District candidate who forgot gloves (but was gifted a pair by a polite passing-by-protestor-photographer).
The intersection of Big Beaver and Rochester Road was overflowing with protestors.
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.

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.

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.

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.
