We are only about six weeks away from the first sailing of 2011 of the SS Badger, one of my favorite things about summer in Ludington. For almost 60 years, the Badger has been sailing across Lake Michigan between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The ship is the icon of Ludington and brings thousands of visitors to our area every year. I took this photograph last fall as the Badger was coming into Ludington harbor on a rough September day.

I recently took my West Shore Community College photography class to PM Floral and Greenhouse in Ludington. This is a great place to get some eclectic grungy photos. The flowers weren’t quite in blossom yet, but that’s not what we were looking for. Here are some photographs from the session. – rob
I was walking out of a building the other night after a photograph assignment for the Ludington Daily News. The sun was setting but I wasn’t going to make it to the beach. Instead, I caught the setting sun reflecting in the large window that dominates the Ludington Center for the Arts. – rob
As the days get longer and the snow slowly melts into the sand of Michigan’s west coast beaches, I can’t help but think of summer. We love photographing families on the beach, creating memories that last a lifetime. This photograph of the Babcock family was created at Stearns Park beach in Ludington. It’s also one of the family’s favorite photographs as well. – rob
