Set in the heart of downtown Ludington is the Todd & Brad Reed Photo Gallery, and it's a must-see for anyone who appreciates true beauty.

The Reeds have launched the "365 Project"...their goal being to each shoot at least one photo every day for all 365 days in 2010. Included will not only be nature photos, but pictures of people and families. Depending on feedback from the public, these photos could eventually be made into a new book. It's a way of capturing the "essence" of the community and forces Todd and Brad to get out and shoot more...which they love to do!

Todd and Brad Reed are international award-winning photographers that have been capturing the essence of this area for many years, and their work is well known. They recently published their third book, "Ludington State Park: Queen of the North," which featuring the unique animal and plant life of Michigan's finest state park. Their spectacular images of West Michigan lighthouses showcase these beloved structures in a way no one else can.

The Reed's Picture Perfect Weekend Workshops at Cartier Mansion are set for 2010. Anyone eager to improve their photographic skills are encouraged to sign up on their website. Don't forget to pick up their 2010 calendar, on sale at the gallery or on their website.

The Reeds' Ludington gallery is located downtown at 114 W. Ludington Avenue, or you can see their images in Pentwater at Our Gallery, 226 Hancock Street.
