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.

Early Morning River Walk Before Riverfest Begins

What a great morning to get up and head on out to the river before the heat sets in and the crowds devour all the festivities. Very rarely am I up this early and out the door, a routine I have to start, the city is a beautiful place to be as the sun is coming up.

This weekend is the biggest weekend for Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati. Riverfest is a must to experience at least once in your lifetime. To many events to list on both sides of the river then ending of course with the best fireworks display I have ever witnessed. Between all this on Sunday is the Rubber Duck Regatta, if you live in the area an explanation is not needed however, if you're reading from afar I'll explain... 

This Regatta is the largest and longest-running rubber duck race in the nation.
As many as 200,000 rubber duckies will be dropped from the Purple People Bridge to swim in the Ohio River near the Serpentine Wall during this annual tradition that is part of the end-of-summer celebration on Labor Day weekend. Ducks are $5 each or six for $25, and proceeds benefit Freestore Foodbank  on both sides of the river and the organization’s ability to provide meals for hungry kids.
