I’m wishing for…

snow
blue skies
more snow
the time and wisdom to get out and play in all that snow
music
beauty
laughter
a bit more snow
and, if it’s not too terribly much trouble, peace on earth.

Hope the season, the year, your life or the fat guy in the red suit brings you what you’re wanting, needing and hoping for.

Believe it or not, these are his first attempts at night photography.

Holler: Detroit Photos + Detroit Cobras

Posted on December 20, 2006December 20, 2014 by Michigan in Pictures

Edited Dec 20, 2014: Unfortunately the photo that was featured here was deleted. Here’s the video instead…

Absolute Michigan’s first Michigan photo-video titled Holler: Detroit Photos + Detroit Cobras featuring great photos of the Motor City and a rockin’ Detroit Cobras tune.

Thanks to all the photographers who shared work that is in here and also to those who did but aren’t (there’s over 1500 pics of Detroit in the Absolute Michigan pool!)

PS: There’s 20,000+ pics of Detroit now!!

Snow plow in field in Michigan

Posted on December 19, 2006 by Michigan in Pictures

There’s not much snow to be found in Michigan today, but there’s plenty in this photo from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress (LC-B2- 33-4). While many of the items in our national library are identified and dated, all we know about this one is that it’s from Michigan.

In the course of an ultimately fruitless search for information about the steam plow in the above photo, I found a neat page from the Wayne County Road Commission. The history page identifies Wayne County as “the Birthplace of Modern Road Building” and has a picture of what is purported to be the first snowplow.

I think that the plow in the picture may be like the one in this story about northern Michigan plow truck driver Harry Anderson.

University of Michigan fans, get ready for the Rose Bowl

Universal Studios Hollywood is promoting their December 30th “Wolverine Day” with a Wolverine Fan Photo. They will be featuring a photo every day from December 20th to 30th at UniversalStudiosHollywood.com/michigan/. You can get all the details there and email your photos to rosebowl@nbcuni.com. They also have special ticket deals available for Rose Bowl bound UM fans. I can’t figure out exactly what you’ll win, but maybe the knowledge that a lot of USC Trojan fans will see your picture is considered enough.

People who are paying attention will notice that the photographer had another photo posted recently. In my defense, I can say without any doubt that she has the best photos of University of Michigan Wolverine fans, hands down.
