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.

Boone County Fair 2013

This being my second year attending the Boone County Fair I was anticipating something different then last year, different rides perhaps? Unfortunately the rides were exactly the same as last year, not something I wanted to see in a photographers stand point.  I have to say both Greg and I were a little bored and annoyed, I really should have known that the time at the fair was going to be a little off, for at least myself, when my camera went flying off the seat of the car onto the floor, no worries camera is just fine,. Now don't get me wrong this place is great for kids but for two people who have no kids living at home it was a little annoying. Have you ever tried to watch a two year old eat a piece of pizza bigger then his head? It was all fun and games until you slam your pizza slice on the picnic table and start having a tantrum, I really should have photographed it, would have served the kid right. 

At least the hot dogs were good, always a fav of mine to order when I'm out, the prices were pretty decent. Biggest disappointment of the night, I found out that when you order a big pretzel always be weary when they stick it in the microwave before handing it to you, parts of it were still frozen. Say what? Frozen? Oh boy!

Next year I've requested a change, I would like to try the Kenton County Fair, maybe a little different and hopefully no frozen pretzels.

I was planning on attending the classic car show today but it was so humid out so I decided to stay home and take a nap. That was lovely.

Okay just because my day was off and I was annoyed with kids doesn't mean I can't give the Boone County Fair a good rating, in all honesty what a great way to spend time with your family a good 4 stars out of 5, I would have given the fair 5 stars if it could have been even slightly different from last year.
