I am looking for a digital photo that I can purchase to enlarge for wall art. In my internet search, I discovered a photo of Sassafras leaves floating on water on your Oakland blog dated October 16, 2014. I tried to email the photographer, Jonathan Schechter, but the email posted under the photograph was not correct. Can you help me get in touch with him so I can ask him if he sells digital downloads of his photos? It is for my personal use only. Thank you!
Hey guys
I’m Saskia from Munich, Germany and I will come to Detroit for snowboarding in the middle of February. Most time I try to do some tricks at the terrain park. I’m not pro but I do snowboarding at least every weekend in the alps at Tirol.
I’m looking for some guys who would like to shred with me in the terrain parks near Detroit. Would be so nice if I can join some shred guys.
Happy new year, Saskia
