In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: Washington Park/12th & Elm, Cincinnati

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.

Washington Park/12th & Elm, Cincinnati

What an unbelievable evening. I headed to Washington Park to check it out, I have to be honest that I was by myself so at first I really wasn't sure I was going to be comfortable, the moment I stepped into the park all that anxiety immediately went away. What a beautiful park, I will have to head back there during the day as part of the park is not well lit at night. Quite a few people were there, especially children, everyone was having such a nice time, a great place if you like to people watch. Free parking was easy to find, an underground parking garage is also available, of course for a fee. You will also find police walking through the park periodically along with maintenance crews hanging out as well.
