I spent a few days in a little town on the west side of Michigan called Saint Joseph. I was there a week ago, and I can’t go there without spending some time on the beach.

I like my beaches empty and windblown, moody, wild.
And I still can’t get enough of my Bronica SQ-A and the 6×6 medium format. The camera isn’t perfect; I’m getting some lines on my negatives that I can’t quite sort out how to get rid of. But, I’ve never been much for perfection anyway.
I used Kodak Ektar 100 ISO for these images. And I completely froze, although you’d never guess just how cold and windy it was from these photos.







When I was a kid growing up in South Bend, IN, St. Joe was where we went to the beach.
Not in the winter, of course.

But a winter beach is just as lovely, Jim (although not nearly as warm). It’s really a lovely little town, isn’t it?

I also love deserted beaches – great shots, and yes it does look cold

Thank you, Maureen! Might not have been quite so cold without that wind!
