The shelter at home order has been extended once more and I’m starting to look like that guy you don’t want to run into in a dark alley.

Like many photographers who ceased business at the beginning of this process I have now run out of studio work and have only myself to use for practice, hence the header photo.

Ypsilanti seems to be holding up well and there have been more inventive ways to burn off energy surfacing. The on line cooking videos continue, people are sharing resources and yeast is a hot commodity. One household posted Monty Python derived signs proclaiming the frontage of their home a zone of silly walks and the photos posted from their front window bear out how wonderfully funny passersby can be.

I went back to some older photos I haven’t shared in a long time..performers I’ve been able to photograph up close, sometimes from on stage.

Martha Reeves (her brother, Benny, looks cool in crowd reflecting shades), LP. a singer many of you may or may not know.. she totally rocked her downtown concert. Laith Al-Saadi, Michelle Chamuel and Joshua Davis were all contestants on The Voice in different seasons plus Theo Katzman who lived in Ann Arbor for a while and whose latest album was released early this year.

Clicking on the composites will enlarge them full size.

As always, stay safe!
