Update #3: Projected Expenses
So far, these are my rough estimates of projected expenses for the Tall Ship photography project. Of course, there are variables based on scheduling and unforeseen circumstances - but this gives a general idea:
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan to Green Bay, Wisconsin
- Four-day passage on the Denis Sullivan out of Sault Ste. Marie, MI to Green Bay, WI - $600.00
- Travel from Grand Rapids to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan: 590 round-trip if husband takes me upe – $90.00 in gasoline (one-way) or one-way via an Indian Trails Bus: $55.00
- Travel to Green Bay, WI to Manitowoc, WI via a Greyhound Bus to catch lake ferry to Michigan: 41.4 mi – $10.00 - $20.00
- S.S. Badger Ferry from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI - $69.00 one-way
- Ludington to Grand Rapids - (200 miles round-trip if my husband comes to pick me up): $35.00 in gasoline
- Possible hotel stay(s) night prior to departure or arrival (depending on ship / bus schedules): $75.00 x 2 = $150.00
- Extras (food, necessities): $150.00
At bare minimum, roughly $1125.00 for this portion of the journey.
At the time of this posting - there are 53 days left to go to fund the project. Can you assist for the love of the Lakes? Remember, you can contribute as little as $5.00, and no one will be changed unless the project is fully backed.

Stacy Niedzwiecki leverages her talents in digital photography and digital art. Her fascination with nature’s beauty has found its way through the camera lens, earning awards in many art and photography competitions. Her work has been featured in the "Michigan 24/7" photography book, Whisper in the Woods Nature Journal, the Rockford Squire newspaper, Michigan Blue and Michigan History magazine and the "Explore St. Louis" official visitors’ guide.
In August of 2009, Niedzwiecki was awarded second place in the Pure Michigan Photo Competition, a highly-competitive event sponsored through Travel Michigan, (a division of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation) the State of Michigan’s official agency for the promotion of tourism. Some of the 30 images Niedzwiecki captured in Muskegon County are showcased the "Pure Michigan: Spring" book, released in February 2010.
Two of Stacy’s artworks were selected to hang on display at the Governor’s Residence in Lansing as part of the Governor’s Residence Michigan Artists Program from July 2008 through July 2009.
Her most honored accomplishment is the installation of 63 of her nature images at the permanent art collection in the new Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion, which opened June 30, 2008 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. These images are showcased in her first book effort, "Healing Images – A Selection from the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion" which was released in March 2010.
