In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: Oktoberfest in Mainstrasse

Who the Heck am I

Welcome to my blog, I ran out of storage space on my last blog so instead of purchasing more space I decided to start another.

Photographing is one of my biggest passions in life. I've been a photographer for 20+ years. Although I have sold some of my work I consider myself an advance amateur. Which means I'm pretty good at pretending to know what I am doing. I arrived from Massachusetts to Northern Kentucky September 16, 2001. I hated it, for months I complained about living here, besides all the redneck jokes I would get there was nothing about Northern Kentucky I enjoyed, when I got over myself I dusted off my camera and headed for the hills, literally, I never fully understood what a beautiful place this is until I was given my first digital camera as a Christmas gift. In all honesty you couldn't get me to move out of this state.

Living so near to Cincinnati (I live right across the river) no other city can offer me more. Art museums, Cincinnati Zoo, symphony, theatre, aquarium, amusement park, Dozens of parks, one of the largest and most amazing firework display in the country and so much more. If you are from the area you know what I am talking about, if you're not, believe me when I say In and Around Northern Kentucky is worth the visit.

I know you will want to check out my other blog, I have shot photographs at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati Zoo, Creation Museum, Eden Park, Findlay Market, Fountain, Square, Krohn Conservatory, Rabbit Hash, KY, Railway Museum, Smale Park, Spring Grove Cemetery and much more.

Oktoberfest in Mainstrasse

Today could not have been anymore perfect, the weather was unbelievable, the company was great and the food was oh so yummy. These are the times I wish I liked beer, I know can you be anymore unamerican then not liking beer? We got there about 1:30pm and the place was absolutely packed. Your missing a lot if you don't head on down.

Don't be fooled by the expression, these ladies loved having their photo taken.

Okay so these guys aren't the Dave Matthews band (yes I know who the Dave Matthews band is) but they got the crowd going and you could tell they were having a blast.

Biggest damn skillet I've ever seen

If you get a chance stop on by this food booth, that young man is a hoot. Make sure he isn't the last person to count your change...those were his words, not mine.

I'll take his word for that one.

The flowers above are so sweet, they actually lure mosquito's into the pockets with their nectar and they drown in the nectar, this is the cool part, the nectar eventually dissolves the mosquito. We were so tempted to buy one.
