Homeless?

Taken while I was at Sawyer Point photographing the Ohio River. I thought at first that this might be a homeless person but looking at the photo again I am not so sure. I couldn't find any belongings near him, anyway I hope someone wakes him up before the water reaches him. Ya think I'm kidding?

Downtown Cincinnati 4th Street

So after driving around taking almost a 100 photographs of the flood I decided to head into downtown. I'm finding that taking photographs of the streets is a lot easier sitting in my car, oh and a little safer.

Check out my Flickr page for a lot more photos of the flood.

Walk About Through Mainstrasse

So to make a long story short, I have to start walking, doc's orders, so if I have to walk I'm taking my camera with me. This time I took along my point and shoot. If a point shoot wasn't so convenient I wouldn't bother with it all, the quality of the pictures and the fact I can't shoot in RAW irritates me but sometimes when I'm out and about alone, especially walking, I just don't feel comfortable taking the dslr with me.

These two photos are taken of an old church that was renovated into a lounge. I have to go back and take a peek inside.

Some restaurants idea of wishful thinking. Tomorrow snow flurries, not exactly a good day to eat outside, think you may be a month or two early. IMO

Can you feel the German influence?

Just might have to think about stopping in one day. Never to old for a tatoo. (UPDATE) I was going through my blog when I reread this post...how does someone spell tattoo wrong (I'm referring to myself) when the word is right in front of your face. I could have corrected it, never said a word but sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself.

Some photographs scream...SPRING PLEASE!!

My first try at street photography. He looks so lonely.

A little hope that Spring is just around the corner.

Welcome To My First Follower

I finally have my first follower. YAY! Thank you Christie.

Rant #1 As I Am Sure I Will Have More

Why do people post photos that are so blurry you can't even begin to see what they are photographing? I mean c'mon, I don't care how cute your kid is it's just not worth posting. I couldn't find an example of my own so I had to blur my daughter on purpose. The only thing that this photo does to me is make my eyes hurt.

Note to those who do this...we don't want to see your blurry photos, no matter how adorable you think it is.

Even though my daughter is pretty blurry in this photo, she is really adorable.

Ever Wonder

Ever wonder what happens to all the debris and trash that gets forced into the river during a flood? I think Finks Restaurant knows. Hope nothing creepy gets tangled up in all that mess. Oh come on, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that thought.

Ohio River

Thought I would head down to the river today. I heard that it was reaching flood stage so I wanted to check it out for myself. I have seen it higher but not sure if it has crested yet. Still a little impressive.

The photo on the left I shot this morning, the one on the right was from last week.

A Reminder

If you photograph as much as I do this is a friendly reminder to BACK UP YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS....just saying.
