SHEVEGAS • SHEBOYGAN, WISCONSIN • MADE ON A PHONE

I'm Mike.

I take pictures in Sheboygan, and I teach. I move the future forward, one percent at a time. Right now I'm getting my life together, and I'm doing it in the open. You're welcome to come along.

Jump in, the water's fine.

My World

THE EYE

These are my pictures. Moments I was there for, from Lambeau to the lakefront.

"I move the future forward."

I want to live a long time, feel good and be good to people. A little better every day.

MOVING PICTURES

Singing. Swinging. Yoga. The lake.

COME ALONG

I'm trying to get 1% better at one thing every day. Seeing. Moving. Resting. Learning the new tools. Sorting out what's true. Want to try it with me?

This Is Me

THE SHORT VERSION

I grew up in Sheboygan. Frisbee, skateboards, Atari, basketball. My family ran Brunettes Ace Hardware on the southwest edge of town, with farmland all around it.

I became a newspaper photographer. Gannett, Thomson, ABC Sports. My paper in Albert Lea was the first in the world to shoot 100% color. I covered the Packers.

In 2001 I worked on a voice assistant, about ten years before Siri.

Now I'm back home. I look into how the city works, like the Flock cameras and Who Runs Sheboygan. I put my pictures up on the Wall. Whatever I learn, I'm glad to share.

I sing. I do yoga at the library fountain. I fly on playground swings.

What I want now is simple: feel good, live long, make some friends, maybe find love.
