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.

What The Heck Is That?

A week ago early Friday morning Greg woke me up to ask me if my camera was in my car. Silly Greg he knows better then that, I would never leave my camera in the car, I don't lock my car since I broke the key in the lock and I'm to cheap to spend $70.00 to get it removed yet, I say yet because it is starting to get annoying. Anyway, "Why do you ask?" I said, "someone broke into our cars last night," Greg informed me. Ha Ha the jokes on them, that previous Monday just four days earlier I went to the car wash and completely cleaned out my car of EVERYTHING, Greg did the same thing in his car just two weeks prior, the work vehicle didn't fair as well, they stole the GPS, as funny as it seems both Greg and I actually thought we were pretty lucky, why? we both had our cars unlocked and the thieves managed to get the back window on the truck opened so no windows were smashed. I would rather deal with missing objects then having to have to fix some windows. Regardless when something like this happens you feel a little violated. That same day off to Home Depot we went, we bought a security camera with night vision, 2 remote sensors and 1 light sensor. My thought, why didn't we do this sooner? At first I was a little reprehension about telling my kids in fear they would think we were some kind of weirdos getting all this security stuff, (we aren't done buying yet) anyway my son thought it was cool and my daughter said she and her husband were thinking about doing the same thing. Phew, no need to worry about having weirdos in your family because they all live in mine. I do love my kids, I feel a little bad that they are a bit like me. LOL 

The photo below is the camera in night vision mode, it is a lot lighter then it appears, when looking at the screen it really does look like it is daylight, Greg wants 5 more cameras I just want 2 more sensors, I'm going to win because I'm not ready to spend $600.00 more, I mean seriously that is almost half of what my camera costs and I really want my new camera.
So what do you think? Are we way out there or do you think we have the right idea? What did all this cost us? Right around $200.00. I really do feel a lot safer. Would you do this?
