Couple quick recent favorites.  ENJOY!

Today I was shooting an amazing matchup by two top local softball pitchers.  It was one of those games where it was hard to see one of the teams win and one of them lose.  15 innings!  Here is a shot that I came-up with.  Good luck to Hudsonville during the rest of the post season.  I am writing this and don’t know the outcome of the final game of the day for them.

Good ole’ Ellery.  Lots of expressions these days!

This is not exactly breaking news but it fits nicely with what has been on my mind lately.  Grand Rapids is an awesome town and I think a lot better than comparable cities.  I’m not just saying this because we have Founders Brewing Company either!  What separates Grand Rapids from other cities in my mind is the number of people that appreciate what we have and give back in amazing ways.  We all benefit!  Mr. Cook is one of those generous people and I was honored when I was requested to do the cover photography for his book, Sharing the Wealth by Michael Lozon.  The location was an easy choice considering it is one of the most heavily photographed locations in Grand Rapids and was provided courtesy of Mr. Cook.  The location I am referring to is the 1928 Spillman Carousel inside of the Cook Carousel Pavillion.  You get the picture.

I was very pleased with how the cover turned-out and to quote the author Michael Lozon, “The image was the final piece to the book”.  A nice honor and compliment that I truly appreciate.

If you have a chance check-out the book available through Baker Books.

I have been wanting to photograph this old HOUSE for a long time now.  I’m going to head back again with even better light.  What do you think?

Been shooting a lot of different things.  Still… How about some more images that I have shot mostly for the fun of it.

I have officially launched a new addition to David Chandler Photography.  It is called Blog Grand Rapids - www.bloggrandrapids.com.  Blog Grand Rapids will be showcasing the photography of David Chandler Photography all the while highlighting great local businesses.  Businesses with high quality products and services and a true professional standard in their industry.  Did I mention cool imagery!  Check it-out and let me know what you think.  

I love these.  I think they would make a nice framed series or canvas prints.

East Grand Rapids played a tough and dominating game against Creston last night.  Check-out a few highlight photos by CLICKING HERE or the image above.

This is an old school house in Caro, Michigan.  It’s been out of commision for A LONG TIME…  I think that’s what I like about it the most.
