I wanted to go on a road trip. So, one fine, warm, sunny day in July, three of us drove down to Toledo to photograph. Although Toledo is only roughly an hour from my house, I had never been there and didn't know what it offered. A friend who had been there many times to photograph assured me that it had a lot to offer - with none of the crowds that we're used to in Ann Arbor. So, away we went!

We traveled light, with our cameras around our necks and film in our pockets, and spent the afternoon walking the streets and stopping to photograph wherever we saw something cool - which was just every block or two. Our first stop was at the old Park Hotel, which is no longer in use. From there we continued on to the old train station, and a dozen other stops.

I recommend a trip to anyone who hasn't been there, and is interested in a wonderful photographic adventure.
