5 7 9 11
A few doors down in Northside Chilly gray skies go down much easier sharing a warm lunch with a friend. We determined I am losing my mind as I keep thinking it is Monday. It feels like Monday. Afterward I exhausted a gift certificate at the record store, picking up some stuff I’ve been digging…

Trader’s World
Ohio’s Largest Family Shopping Mall I’m not sure what constitutes a “family” shopping mall, but I always thought Trader’s World was a big flea market. It was the perfect weather for driving up I-75 and wander around building after building of… stuff. I was hoping to find some old paintings I could vandalize. Sadly, most…

Dinner Club: Vincenzos
Because photos of food can be boring For Dinner Club, man that sounds stupid…It’s like everything demands some semblance of branding. Some social vernacular… Anyway, for Dinner Club this month, we went up north to a part of town where no one lives. We invaded a joint called Vincenzos for a night of italian foods.…

end scene
What is that blob over the r? A cursor. I used the Hand Tool in Photoshop to position the image on the wall with a projector. The rules stated that you had to include the words “scene from my life” and the city. Photoshop could not be used, which, now that I think about it,…

The bridges of Hamilton county
A clear view of Mt. Adams A bright sunny day, but wicked cold. I went down to Newport Kentucky for a late lunch and caught this view of a couple bridges on the Ohio River. We have nine. The L&N Railroad Bridge was painted and given a new moniker a few years ago. Now the…

Next to the Crisco factory
This place is not under construction, it is complete I drove up the street to the industrial strip where Procter & Gamble has a few plants, and the Dekuyper place churns out flavored liqueurs. It’s a maze of skeletal buildings belching smoke and odd smells. I realized this wasn’t a good place to capture a…

Bus Stop
Waiting Today mother nature teased the city with unusually warm weather and blue skies. A perfect day that might slip too quickly into memory as freezing temperatures are due to return shortly. An afternoon at the radio station and then off to the zoo, I drove through the university and caught this photo on the…

Longhorn Rodeo
Galloping through Cincinnati Gardens After a great brunch at Slims, I wandered over to a rodeo just a few minutes up north. Pretty impressive crowd for a Sunday, lots of cowboy hats—something not seen too much ’round these parts, even though I write with a touch of country dialect from time to time. I took…

Wilco
At the Taft Theater, Cincinnati Ohio Tonight I was able to catch Wilco on their tour supporting some album I don’t have. I take that back, I’m not sure why they’re touring, but it might have something to do with their rabid fans. A sold out show comprised of an odd mix of pre-Dead /…

Vontz Center for Molecular Studies
A Frank Gehry building I like The sun decided to peek out this evening and I’ve been meaning to pull over and document this building at the University of Cincinnati campus. They’ve quite a few fine specimens of architecture appearing around the school and I hope to grab them all and make a mini-site with…
