New Blog

As you can obviously tell my enthusiasm for taking photographs has pretty much been non existent. This winter has driven me to stay indoors. I have always been a winter person, love the snow, never really complained about the cold, this year with snow storm after snow storm, cold temperatures that have made me feel as though I am living in the arctic and now starting shortly our first ice storm. UGH!! I have found venturing out into the world a complete struggle.

I pass by my camera every day, stare at it with frustration hoping that today I will be inspired, then I walk to the kitchen to check out the temperature, any motivation that I had felt quickly disappears, temperature outside is 8 degrees, another day goes by, my camera will not see light today either.

One difference that tonight brings is I have actually started surfing the web again to find the inspiration that I have so desperately been searching for. I have had a desire to photograph urban decay, urban landscaping and step out of my comfort zone and try my hand at street photography. I thought that since this is quite unique for me that I would create a new blog. I will post the address for the new blog on here. Stay Tuned!!!

Just so you know though, today doesn't look and tomorrow, well it doesn't look good either. I hope soon, very soon.

Lake St. Clair Near the Condo. New Baltimore, MI

Been so cold around here thought I would upload pictures of the lake to remind me that summer really does exists. I usually do not mind winter at all but this year it has been exceptionally cold and snowy.

Mike, Danielle & Sammy

They were enjoying a rare no snow day on the east coast.

Mike & Danielle

I really believe that Mike is thinking "I think I'm in pain."

Happy New Year

Northern Kentucky Mini Storm

I took these photos with my point & shoot. I've come to realize that point & shoots are really only good for those times when you can't really carry your dslr. Or in this case when you are just plain lazy.

We didn't get the full impact of the storm, about 4" of snow tops. Missed most of it mostly because it happened over night. Greg tried to go to work but the roads were so slick he turned around and ended up coming home. Kentucky DOT decided it really wasn't necessary to pre-treat the roads, ummmm who ever made that decision should be fired.

Radar as of 10:34p.m.

According to the radar the storm is here but nothing is hitting the ground so maybe the air is still to dry.

Woot Woot!!!

Another storm is a comin. This has to be the most storms I have seen in December in the Cincinnati area since I moved here in 2001 and it is only December 15th. Stay tune for pictures, I'm sure they will be pretty. Snow in the woods is always beautiful, not to mention how peaceful it is.
