Lucinda at the Madison

Lucinda Williams performed at the Madison Theatre on June 10, 2009. I had a great view from right in front of the stage. I had no idea that cameras were allowed, and I only had my point & shoot with me. All of these were shot with my Panasonic Lumix dmc-tz5 with available light. Click on the images to see them bigger.

Michigan Wildlife

In July of 2009, I went to Michigan. My mom and Jack had a cabin in Onekema. It's kind of up towards the north of the state, and on a beach. Niiiiiice! Here are some shots of the wildlife I encountered.













The deer that welcomed me to the cabin. They were so sweet!














A baby deer (see the spots?) that wandered by the cabin.













Looking for food (and soon hiding from me) near the cabin.

























Seagulls looking for the crackers I just threw! Not a bad beach view for five days, huh? :)

Joshua

Joshua is an adorable little boy I had the opportunity to photograph. His grandmother requested a photo shoot as a Christmas surprise for her daughter. He was timid at first, BAWLING when I said to him, "I'm going to take your picture!" But after a few minutes of playing at the park, he warmed up. I hope he also had fun. I know I did!

Play Ball!

Since I'm trying to start up my photography business, I figured I'd better come back to the blog world. I'm going to try to post a decent photo at least once a week - and I mean it this time ;-)













These photos was taken on May 28, 2009 at Huntington Field in Columbus, Ohio. The Columbus Clippers were playing. We had seats in the outfield, and it was a pretty fun time! We had a great view of #23's rear. There were three young girls trying to give him their phone number. It was pretty entertaining!

It came from the Fridge...

One day recently at work, I spotted something strange in the fridge. It disturbed me a little, so I had to document it. I'm beginning to wonder who in the world I work with.

And I'm back.

For now anyway. I just googled Michael Jackson "Thriller" and stumbled across a great pop culture blog, The Fire Wire http://larryfire.wordpress.com/

What got my attention was an IMDB subway map of the best movies of all time. I may print it out as art!

Jon and Marsha

More scans from back in the day. This is Jon and Marsha, believe it or not, in Marsha's back yard. The year is 1991 or so, after Marsha's little brother's baptism. Jon and Marsha used to date, until Jon came out. By the time these pictures were taken, all was out in the open, and they were still best of friends. And to this day, they still are!

I had just discovered that I loved photography, and I took these pictures, posing them along the fence and on the farm.

Trivets

I've been on vacation and have been scanning in all my film photos. Here's one that I took in college in my "icon" days. I was never able to dig really deep into who I was as a photographer then. I took a lot of photos of icons and symbols. This is one of my favorite symbols of Cincinnati.

Trivet Antique and Boutique was a Cincinnati landmark. The old downtown shop smelled pretty bad, but the items were original vintage. They had beads, clothes, incense, patches - anything from the 60s you could imagine - and yes, they were originals! Sadly, they closed their doors in 2000.
