In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: Ohio River

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.

Cincinnati Reds Firework Friday

Taking a necessary 21 month break from photographing the Cincinnati Reds Firework Friday it was actually nice to get back into it once again. My photography has taken a huge backseat to other parts of my life however, I am starting to slowly incorporate it back into my life.

Some Late Summer Photos

Some photos that were taken late summer 2015.

Visiting Cincinnati September 13th, 2015

The USS LST 325 has been in operation since 1943. This ship served during the North African operations, the Invasion of Sicily, the Invasion of Salerno, Italy. The USS LST 325 also participated in the landings at Omaha Beach, Normandy France for D-Day June 6th, 1944 and made the landing on June 7th. On December 28th, 1944, the LST 325 rescued 700 men from the torpedoed troop transport ship the Empire Javelin, earning Comdr. Mosier a Bronze Star.

Ohio River Flood Stage

With all the snow that has fallen north of us it really isn't a surprise that the Ohio River is flooding. What I can't tell you is if this is as high as it will go. Will be keeping an eye on this.

***Update*** Ohio River will crest sometime on Sunday.

Surf's Up!!!

Sad to see all of this trash.

Cincinnati Reds Fireworks 05-Sep-14

If you haven't been down to the river to catch any of the fireworks this year you still have one more chance, September 26th will be the last event of the season. Although I haven't been to as many events this year as I have in the past, I do believe that this year was the best.

Foggy Morning on the River

Looking out the window before going to bed I saw fog starting to roll into the area, I wasn't sure if it would still be there in the morning but I set my alarm anyway just in case. Waking up way to early for me, (I'm a night owl) I eagerly made my way downstairs and out the front door to check on the fogs conditions, much to my delight it was still foggy. Grabbing the camera I flew out the door. Heading for the river I was hoping it would stay foggy long enough to get some photos. Woohoo I hit the jackpot. The three photos below were taken on and near Riverside Drive, right across the river from downtown Cincinnati.

The one above is by far my favorite. I am ohhhh soooo printing this one up and hanging it somewhere.

I think I'll print this one up as well.
