Photo Finds

Stumbled across a couple of interesting photo sites...or sites with interesting photos, however you want to put it

One is the web site of Superior View Gallery in Marquette, MI. The gallery sells photos (mostly) of northern Michigan locations, printed from original negatives that date from up to 150 years ago. I've linked the index here. If you're a Michiganic, you could spend hours surfing through these old images, seeing what some favorite places were like before you knew them. Here are a couple:

Trout Boy

Wish I knew where he was.


South Marquette, 1860

It still was a rustic area then. Today it's a downscale commercial zone stretching along US 41.



The other is Third Year Fly Fisher, by Bob Thompson. I've followed Bob's reports and photos on different forums over the years (I could swear it was more than three...), and he is a more than able hand with both rod and camera. Check his fish photos and videos, as well as his blog.
