These 15 Photos of Michigan In The 1970s Are Mesmerizing

We can't deny it: we have a soft spot for Michigan nostalgia. So when we came across the work of Michigan photographer Don Hudson, we were totally in awe.  He has a way of capturing the human spirit in each and every photo that he's taken over the past few decades. His subjects are candid, and he manages to encapsulate just what life was like back in the day. See for yourself. You'll be transported to the Michigan of yesteryear.
