Like A Duck In Water
July 18, 2018

These Canadian Geese Take To The Ohio River Like A Duck In Water - Ok, that was a cliche, but I couldn't help myself. For someone who did their dissertation on Arthurian Humor in the Middle Ages, I felt it could not go unsaid. In any event, these visitors from the north, grace us with their presence in early spring. Nothing gets Murphy excited like a duck in water. The sight of one, or more, of these beautiful water foul, basking on the lawn in...

Sunrise Serenade - Breaking Dawn
July 17, 2018

Dawn Greets Us With A Sunrise Serenade! - Walking through Sawyer Point Park, Murphy and I observed this beautiful sunrise.

The Murphy-Cam Project has become many things, but it is first and foremost an effort to photograph Cincinnati in a way that reflects my journey with a Miniature Schnauzer named Murphy. Our daily excursions, of both necessity and curiosity, often happen during the golden hour on the river. Bathed in the soft rays of dusk and dawn, the city presents itself in a way few get to experience. While Murphy...

Covington Landing
July 6, 2018

Street Lamp Stands Watch Over Old Covington Landing - For many years the Covington Landing was the home of popular dining spot, The Mike Fink. A floating memorial to a bygone era, the riverboat restaurant, known for its seafood and upscale dining, closed 10 years ago after a 40 year run. All that remains are the steal peers where the vessel built in 1936 resided, and of course, this street lamp. Good evening from...
