In and Around Northern Kentucky 2.0: December 2013

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.

Christmas Deco

Since my attempt at capturing my Christmas decorations seem to be in vain I decided to do the Bokeh effect instead.

Every time I tried to photograph the above photo I kept getting this white mist, could I have a ghost in the house?

The Minnie Snow Storm

The snow came down pretty heavy at times, my thoughts of course went straight to the cabin, it is always beautiful there but I did discover that when you like snow as much as I do...it's pretty anywhere.

A Rest for Pets...Meet Logan

I would like for you to meet Logan. Logan is a stray kitty that has been going between our house and two other neighbors houses for a few weeks now, we are all feeding him and giving him something to sleep on at night, yesterday we had a Minnie snow storm, our first in the new house but that is another story, it snowed about 4 inches enough to make it miserable for such a tiny cat, Greg, the little sap that he is couldn't stand the thought of kitty being out on such a godforsaken night, as luck would have it kitty...now known as Logan came by the house for a little snacky, Logan was snatched up and placed in one of the doggie crates, for his own safety. He wasn't happy about it but he stayed in the crate all night. By late morning we decided to let him out and see how he would fit in with the rest of the rug rats, well stupid me thought Logan would get chewed up by the dogs, little did I know that it would be the dogs that would need the protecting, a few swipes of the paw sent Jasper running down the stairs and Jessie hiding by the back door, Jessie won't come back upstairs. Greg has decided he wants to keep him, I guess I can go along with that for now, I know Logan will calm down after his snip, snip procedure.
