2014 Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk: Mt Adams Cincinnati

This Saturday was the 7th annual Scott Kelby World Wide Photowalk! I was representing Cincinnati leading this band of desperadoes!

Our walk took us from Mount Adams to the Eden Park Overlook!

Here's some of my captures! Many more to follow as the walkers send in their favorites.

Tim takes out the vintage camera filter.

But he's not the only one!

The overlook was great on this almost perfect day!

It provided some real diversity to our walk!

And when we were finished we headed to the Mt Adams Bar and Grill!

We ate in the speakeasy room!

And it was delicious!

More images to come!

TEDxCincinnati Pedal Wagon Warmup

After a rainy restart last week the TEDxCincinnati team all got together to put the pedal to the metal

Or where the rubber meets the road rather... or another bad joke.

But seriously, after meeting up at Half Cut the team

joined up with the Pedal Wagon crew and took to the streets!

This Thursday is our Vibrant Curiosity main stage event!

And this was our warmup!

Go team!

See you Thursday!

Paradise Ice and the end of Summer

After many months of waiting I finally got to photograph the amazing sensation known as Paradise Ice!

On the last day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

This delicious treat stand has been keeping the east side of the 275 circle cool all summer and

the last day was like a declaration!

This stellar crew kept the line moving perfectly for all the 70 or more hungry patrons.

And everyone was happy

Here's three of the main ladies making such a difference to the squelched, overheated, or those just looking for a treat.

I don't mean to tease, but sadly this session did mark the last day of season for Paradise Ice. But fear not, we just have to brave winter!

You can keep up with Paradise Ice and my friend Tena on facebook until the spring when we can all gather together and make our tongues a rainbow!

New York Wedding With Jason Lykins

Just a little congratulations update to Mr. & Mrs. Burke from 30,000 feet!

This weekend I got the privilege of assisting photo maniac, Jason Lykins, on a premier rooftop wedding in Long Beach New York!

This was a grand affair with all the usual trimmings plus

A magnificent setting on the beautiful beaches of Long Beach!

The scenery was amazing!

The whole thing was wonderful,

and the decor beautiful

With some ofthe nicest people I've ever met!

Here's the reception with Jason's beautiful Dawn

and that night had one of the best sunsets!

Almost everything was perfect...

except the hotel. They left a lot to be desired! (including when they kicked us out of the restaraunt for photographing the grooms brunch.)

For the real scoop on this amazing wedding check out Jason's official blog at

Jesse!

Last week in my move-tastic free for all,

not only did I shoot a wedding outside all day in a suit in 90 degree weather, but I also met up with the super awesome conductor Jesse at Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music.
