Your Moment of ‘Zoo… For years I’ve been thinking about taking this picture, but as long the sign was turning, there was just no way going to do a long exposure 🙂 Recently the motor stopped and finally, I was able to seize the opportunity!

Your Moment of ‘Zoo… The tower of this facility has always sparked my interest and I would love to go up there and take some pictures from there.
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… Looks like the last physical evidence of the M.D. Ellis Jewelry store in Kalamazoo. I was searching for more history on the store, but all I could find was that it was founded in 1958 by Raymond Mackie. If you have some info on the history please reply to this blog!
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… the town just looks different @Dusk! I was attracted to the lights enhancing the buildings appearance, but had to process the heck out of it to recreate the impression it made on me. And all I see now are burned out lights 🙂 I come up with 5! Do you find any more?
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… I have been walking by this window a couple of times and always wondered if it would be a good motive for a picture. So, finally I took the picture and am still on the fence. I do like the reflections, but it is not as vibrant as in real life. Now I am more interested in what is behind the mirror 🙂
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… I’m backfilling some of the August posts to catch up. This picture was taken during the USTA tennis tournament at Kalamazoo College. I ran across this piece of art and it made quite the impression on me as I have always been interested in modern art sculptures. Come to find out it is a Chicago artist by the name of Richard Hunt!
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… I was hoping the weather front would move out faster so I could get a good sunrise picture. It didn’t turn out that way, but still created a nice atmosphere.
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… Stumbled with coffee in my hand through the market, which made photography nearly impossible 🙂 This is the only good picture from this morning and the credit goes to my friend who was holding the cup during the shoot. Note to self… leave the coffee in the car!!!
Your Moment of ‘Zoo… I have been taking this shot at least 100 times and have always been amazed what changes in lighting do to this tower… It was a nice early morning walk through downtown Kalamazoo!
