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.

WEBN Fireworks Show Before the Party Gets Started

I decided to do a little recon before the big event tonight, I was surprised that more boats were not on the river yet but it was only 3:30p.m. We haven't decided if we are going tonight, we haven't been for years, we are not people persons. We have special permission to park in the parking lot at the overlook in Devou Park, if the rain holds out and that is a huge IF, we might go up there, since I only have a wide angle lens the fireworks will be much further away. We'll see.

 Someone above decided to bring a floating platform and tent to the party. I have to admit, awesome idea.


 Another group having some fun. This photo was taken on Riverside Drive, I had to photograph from my car, you were not allowed to park on the street.....anywhere, even the residence had to move their vehicles.
 All lined up.
 Another party. This one is well, how do I say this, someone was lacking brains when they decided it was alright to swim in the river. Do you think they have any idea that at times sewers back up into the Ohio River. Totally gross!
 Sawyer Point, all good seats are taken.
 National Guard? That wasn't the surprising part, $20.00 for parking now that was a shocker. I didn't take a photo but the parking lot was nearly empty.

Another tree in the park bites the dust.
