About the Photographs
"Captured Moments" places emphasis upon
photographing nature and outdoor activities in northwest lower Michigan in all four
seasons. All the images on this site were taken within a 50 mile radius of the photographer's
hometown of Frankfort, located on the Lake Michigan shore in Benzie County, Michigan.
Also worthy of mention – several of these images were taken in the scenic Sleeping
Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, which lies just north of Frankfort.

About the Photographer
Al Hyams was an outdoor enthusiast who
for many years has enjoyed roaming "the back 40" of Northern Michigan to
observe and record images pleasing to the eye. Years ago his first camera was a Kodak
Bantam 828 that held an eight picture roll of film. This he carried while exploring
Michigan and Canada, while cycling through central Europe, and throughout his Alaskan
army service. Al loved to ramble Northwestern Michigan with his wife Gerry and cameras
in search of interesting photographs.
12/2/2020 — It is with great sadness we must report that Al passed
away on November 18th, 2020 after over nine decades of a life well lived. He was
a loving husband, father, and friend to all. Thanks to all of you who appreciated
his work.
