On the drive to Dayton, the sunset was spectacular. Who wouldn’t snap this picture as we were headed south west. To the west, the sun was a massive ball of orange

all the world is a stage
Welcome to the catskills resort ladies and gentlemen. On my way over here tonight, I overheard two elderly ladies in the restaurant. The first lady remarked "The food here is terrible" and the second lady replied "And the portions are so small". I tell you , I am killing it. Did you hear the one about the orangutang that walked into an Irish bar with a unicycle and a violin? …
This one was shot on my iPhone and processed in Photoshop. Sometimes you have to work with the equipment you have on hand and then get creative.
Thank you Larry Coressel for the joke.
catacomb
If you have a few minutes to spare in Indianapolis, the tour of the catacombs under the city market is an interesting way to spend the time. A little history, a little architecture, and lots of dank, cool, darkness await the adventuresome. The Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Soldiers and Sailors monument are far more spectacular, however, I like to find these smaller side visits as well.
shooting sunflowers at dawn
This morning, my friend Jim and I got up before the roosters and drove to Yellow Springs, Ohio to photograph a field of sunflowers as the sun rose.
We come to this same field every year, looking for a new way to capture the flowers. The field is so large and there are so many flowers, that I have trouble figuring out where to point my camera.
dam morning
The past few weekends, my morning walks at the dam near my home have been beautiful. This particular morning was full of gold tones that filled me with warmth.
Getting up early hand having a few minutes or maybe even an hour to have the world to myself is good. It gives me time to think and to charge my batteries for the day or the week ahead. Morning walks are my version of a cup of coffee.
barn roof
I often pass this barn on the way to the farm. It's one of the Ohio bicentenial barns chosen to represent each county in the state. The barn is in pretty sad shape, but currently undergoing rennovation. No matter what direction you approach the barn, you can see this roofline with all of its interesting details. It's a fine old barn.
