The Midwestern porch is a thing of beauty. Beautifully sculptured posts, railings and other decorum add to the beauty of these structures. I have decided to work on a project photographing these porches in Northern Michigan. Taking 3 cities, Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Petosky, Michigan. These three cities have a rich heritage of the most ornate porches. Many summer homes can be found in these cities dating back 125 years. Sitting on the porch, in the summertime was a relaxing way to spend an evening. The porches of these three cities  capture those moments in time when you can reflect back to a far simpler era. No TV’s, the internet, or Xbox 360 games to obscure those beautiful tranquil moments.
