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.

Most importantly you need to be aware that all the photos below have been compressed in order to save space on my blog, do not look at the quality but rather the photo itself, would you hang any of these in your home, if so which ones?

A December Afternoon Curise

With the sun out and the temperature tolerable I headed out the door with camera in hand headed down RT. 177 and eventually down some side roads. 

 This view I have photographed before, I couldn't remember if I had the cows in any of the previous photos sooooooo.
 This was photographed in Ryland Heights, a small confined community that is pretty well hidden off of RT. 177. I've been through the neighborhood before, if it wasn't for the golf course that seems to surround the majority of the neighborhood I could easily live here.


 What kind of day would I have if I didn't take a photo of a cow. He is a little hard to see but he is looking right at me.

How can you not love the Kentucky countryside?

Butler Kentucky to Dry Ridge Kentucky

Yesterday was a very long day for me. I traveled 165 miles to photograph 7 homes. My first stop was Butler, Kentucky where I found this gem (photo below.)  This historic two story stone house was built by Pendleton County, Kentucky pioneer Walter Fryer in 1811. Abraham Vastine, a housebuilder, built this house of limestone from an adjacent quarry and it has walls two feet thick. The roof truss system is built of wood framing held together with wooden pegs. The home was not completed until 1813. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Pendleton County Historical Society announced in April 2007 that it had leased the home for 99 years as a museum and Society offices. The building had been vacant for seven years. Thank you Wikipedia

Hanging Out Near Verona, KY

 I didn't realize that a calf was lying down, white cows are so cool looking.


I'm not sure exactly what this is but it looks like someone built a bathroom in the middle of nowhere.
