James Bradley - Abolitionist
June 15, 2019

For the past 3 years Murphy and I have walked the streets of Cincinnati, and those cities surrounding the river. In that time, we discovered many elements of our community, some iconic, and some less so. This is the statue of James Bradley - Abolitionist. It resides in Covington Ky, overlooking the Ohio River into Downtown Cincinnati. James Bradley was born free in Africa and abducted by slave traders at the age of 3. He was sold as a slave in...

Macro Photography - Ball of Yarn
May 25, 2019

Don't sweat the small stuff ... and it's all small stuff, is a book I read early in my career. The advice was sound and it dovetailed with my experiences as a cancer survivor.

One is currently morphing into a sweater, and the other has aspirations to become a hat,...

Murphy In The Morning
May 16, 2019

Always excited to go outside, but rarely happy to have his photo taken. This is a shot of Murphy in the morning giving me the business for shoving a camera in his face. Of course, I couldn’t help myself. I was testing out a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, rented for a portrait project which I will cover in a later post. Murphy is not one to sit idle, so there are few shots of him, unless lighting is great. Being able to stop down to f2.8...

Talk To The Homeless
May 8, 2019

I want to encourage you to talk to the homeless. Imagine walking through a world where no one acknowledges your existence. And if they do, it is only to belittle or humiliate you. Imagine the loneliness, isolation, and depression. Imagine not knowing what, or if, you will eat today, or where you will sleep tonight. Allow yourself to step into those shoes for a moment. Now imagine a smile, a hand shake, or someone stopping to ask how your day...
