In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: 2015

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.

Babies, Babies and More Babies

Coming Soon! 2016 will be an awesome year for this grandmother. My daughter is expecting her second child in January, a baby boy, they haven't decided on a name yet so until they do we've decided to call him Buford, we are hoping by calling him Buford this will expedite their name decision, it hasn't yet.

The photo below Buford is baby #2, yep another grandchild coming in June, my son and daughter in law are expecting their first baby, sex unknown, they have decided to be surprised.

I Call It....Tree.

Thought I would have a little fun with my filters in Elements, the first one is called ocean ripples the second one is plastic wrap. Plastic wrap looks more like ice build up on the tree not to mention that it looks as though someone is watching me...CREEPY! If I had to choose the one I like most, it would have to be ocean ripples.

Please Help Those That Need Us Most

Next week is Thanksgiving; we have many things to be thankful for however, this is also a time for families that this day will bring sadness and another day of hunger. Please take the time to find a food pantry near you, drop off food and allow those families that are hungry a day they too can be grateful for.

Great American Ballpark & Carew Tower

Had the opportunity to photograph downtown Cincinnati from a different perspective. Here are only a couple of examples. It was nice to actually photograph the Carew Tower instead of photographing from the top of it. How awesome is it to actually be able to photograph the inside of Great American Ballpark? Pretty damn awesome! It's nice to have friends in high places...or know how to access them...lol
