It’s mainly just me ( Mike Sonnenberg) with my camera driving around in my jeep seeing what I can find. Sometimes my best friend, a black lab named Cooper tags along with me too. I was born and raised in Saginaw and still live there now. I see all the images on Pure Michigan and they do a great job showing the tourist areas of Michigan, but what about the farmlands and the inner cities? I don’t play golf or drink wine and don’t care for sitting on the beach either, I have to be out exploring and when I am up north I just want to see what I can find. Sunsets over Lake Michigan are wonderful, but I want to show what else there is to see in the mitten state. I am that crazy photographer guy that has to pull over to the side of the road and get the photo of some iconic place that we all drive by but have never noticed. I am sure I am not the only one that likes driving around the state enjoying the drive, the bikers and snowmobilers know what I am talking about. I just have the desire to photograph and share what I see to connect us all together in this beautiful state.

I had some really nice people write some really nice articles about me.
Here is an article from the Lansing State Journal about me HERE

Congrats on the new website, Mike ! I have enjoyed your “Pure Michigan” site very much . I look forward to seeing the images you select for this new place for me to wonder around the Michigan countryside . I always enjoyed turning down a road just to see where it goes.. and what I might find there !
I am looking for a 2019 lighthouse calendar. Will there be more or should I look elsewhere?
Unfortunately I sold out of the 2019 lighthouse calendars.
