One of my favorite things about Ohio and living here has to be the rustic nature of just about everything around.
You’d think this barn was abandoned – but in fact it’s very much in use! Sure it has some bumps, scrapes, and dents. But it still serves a purpose.
Ohio is tough on us all, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up!
Utah is truly a wonderous place.
If you ever have the chance. Go.
A rare double-upload!
Actually, the first double. Mostly because I couldn’t decide what to post, and I knew that I wouldn’t be posting the same style of photo too closely together.
Taken in a photobox since it is 30 degrees outside.
Happy New Year!
What do you do when you’re stuck in your house for an entire year and have trouble traveling for photos?
You try a PhotoBox, of course!
This is from the first set I took – where I accidentally took a couple of Christmas decorations and made them look terrifying.
Yea, maybe I should stick to nature.
There is a “golden hour” when it comes to photography. The sun is in just the right location, the clouds are just slightly overhead, and the shadows falls perfectly.
Typically, there is, quite literally, only an hour or two a day when this happens – usually dawn or dusk. However sometimes, the golden hour doesn’t apply, and there are places where no matter how the day is – it’s perfect.
For me, that the Metroparks in Cleveland. A place so many of my photos have come from – a place where I truly fell in love with the art.
Taken somewhere deep in the Cleveland Metroparks. This photo was one that I almost forgot about, lost in a ever-expanding hard drive.
But, much like the squirrel, I went looking for something more, and came across this gem.
Oh, also, I had to edit out a trashcan.
We’ll get there eventually.
The sun will be on our backs again, the saltwater kissing our cheeks. The sand will grind its way into our shoes, forever stuck in the thread of our socks.
We will have annoyances again, we will have frustrations again – but they’ll be good ones. Frustrations we missed.
Today was a good day, and the light is getting brighter.
Stay grounded, my friends.
Photo taken in South Carolina.
It’s that time of year when I delve into all of the photos I took the following months and go on a trip around my own adventures. However this year was a little different – the trip not going farther than a few miles, and never out of the state.
This one is from San Diego – a place that seems even farther away now. But we’ll be back.
