Deep dive: What it's like to photograph a shipwreck

Detroit News photographer Andy Morrison was certified in SCUBA in 2001 and has been diving shipwrecks ever since. Among the wrecks he's photographed: Bell P-39 Air Cobra, Eber Ward, Dunderberg, City of Detroit. Here, he shares what makes these assignments both challenging and exhilarating. Q. What drew you to this kind of specialized photography ? How long did it take to become SCUBA certified? A: I initially got certified as something to do away from my day job as a photojournalist. Basic scuba took a few months to months. There's classroom work, then pool sessions and finally you're in open water certification dives. I grew up a huge Jacques Cousteau fan, watching his documentaries as a kid in Iowa, and always wanted to scuba dive. I just wanted to enjoy being underwater, but after seeing my first shipwreck, I knew I wanted to take a camera with me. More: It's not finders keepers for most Great Lakes shipwrecks. Here's why Q: What kind of specialized equipment do you need for these assignments? A: Advanced training is the most important thing you need to photograph shipwrecks.

Farmington theater leans on upgrades, alcohol and the internet for resurgence

FARMINGTON — It's a cold and drizzly evening in early November, and Lucy Savoy is outside the Farmington Civic Theater. On the evening of Nov. 5, Savoy and her teammates on Clarkston High School's ski team made the trek to Farmington to watch ski documentarian Warren Miller's 2026 feature, "Days Off." The ski team crowded down the sidewalk with other moviegoers as they made their way into the theater lobby, which quickly filled up. "This is like a whole experience," said Savoy, 18. "They have booths and stuff, and it’s amazing. We’re really excited to go see the movie.” "Days Off" is just one of the special screenings at the Civic Theater that'll play this month at the quaint theater on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. More than 25 years after the city of Farmington purchased the 1939 building to better control how it would be used, theater and city leaders are pushing to sustain it. The theater got an alcohol license earlier this year and recently installed new leather rockers from the Romeo Theater, another small-town theater that shut down earlier this year amid changing movie-goer habits. Officials have also discussed installing a pizza oven at the theater.
