On March 15, 2007 Monte Zucker died from pancreatic cancer. Monte is a true Photography Hero and will be placed in the league of the great landscape photographer Ansel Adams. His work and inspiration have had such a significant impact on so many lives.
I had the opportunity to see Monte last fall in Detroit. The seminar started off on a bad note because someone stole all of his camera gear. Monte didn’t let it bother him a bit. He actually joked with the crowd and was upbeat about it. He borrowed a lens from a crowd member for the evening.
Two quoted that I have heard from Monte are:
“Your images should be a lasting testament long after you are gone.”
“Success as a person is to affect people’s lives in a positive way.”
What a great man and I know that he is in photography bliss now.

Have a great day.

Saugatuck, Michigan hosted a parade for St. Patrick’s Day. The parade was led by about 30 dogs, mostly in costumes. We took our two dogs, blue weimaraner and vizsla, and they did absolutely fantastic. The two of them are fairly high strung and they were saints. Sampson never growled once and he let everyone come and pet him on the head and rub his ears, which he usually does not like. It was a good day…
Afterwards, my wife and I visited Saugatuck Brewing Company for a couple of beers. They have a great beer much like guiness. We hung out there for a bit and watched the pub crawl people come through. We chatted with a few of the couples and then we had dinner at the Belvidere Inn. They had a five course Irish meal that was fantastic.
I was so amazed at how well the dogs were doing that I didn’t take a single image. The parade was like 10 minutes, if that, so I don’t feel too bad.
Meg and I love Saugatuck, the small town atmosphere with a big town culture.
See you next time.
Paul;-)
