Mist rises from warm water into the cooler morning air as the sun rises over Indian Cut on the Kalamazoo River. Indian Bayou was once home to the Potawatomi. In 1897, the Kalamazoo River was a navigable depth of 4 to 12 feet, except 3.5 miles below New Richmond. The U.S. Engineer Office reported a split; a shallow branch and a "tortuous" stream through wooded bottom land with bluffs 50 feet and marshland. "Indian Cut" was dredged shortening the river by a mile. Here wildlife is still abundant and sunrise a spectacular time to consider the river's diverse past.

Please...... Come for the view!!

You're invited, so mark your calendar for Friday, May 28. That's the Friday of Memorial Day weekend.

We'll be celebrating the opening of my new show at GoodGoods in Saugatuck, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM.

The show consists of my photographs of the Saugatuck Lakeshore; many being shown for the first time, several in very large sizes. We'll also be showing images from my Native American series, Traditional Subjects, including "The Ride to Wounded Knee" from the Smithsonian Collection.

This time around I diverge from Saugatuck.... In case you missed the news, the Smithsonian Institute has purchased a second print of my photograph of "The Ride to Wounded Knee".

The first print is in the museum's permanent collection and remains on display in the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington. The second print is in the exhibition, "A Song for the Horse Nation" that opened in November at the George Gustav Heye Center in New York City. The exhibit will move to Washington in July, then begin a national tour in 2013.

You can read about it at A Song for the Horse Nation and in the Smithsonian's blog.

In Saugatuck, the image will be included in my show opening at GoodGoods on Memorial Day weekend; Friday May 28 from 5:30 to 8:30. Be sure to mark your calendar.
