i was walking along lake michigan in menominee michigan and found all this wood...i ran into another photographer and asked him if he knew what all this wood was doing here and he told me all of this is from the 1820-1850s logging industry up here...neat stuff to see it still around Canon 20d w/ 18-55 kit lens, tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6, tamron 1.4tc,tiffen filters,tamrac expedition6,Canon a610 w/ adapter for 58mm filters

If its still in good shape it could be worth quite a bit. Old wood had acoustic properties highly superior to new wood, so many instrument makers seek wood from ships that sank hundreds of years ago to make their instruments sound better.

There is a company near here that gets logs from river bottoms that sunk while being floated down the river. Much of this is Long Leaf Southern Yellow Pine (Heart Pine) which has a beautiful grain to it and ages to an orangish red color. Really beautiful and really, really pricey! Robert

I like your perspective, and the historical significance makes it even more interesting. Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop. -Ansel Adams
