Men Walking In the Snow

2 men walking in the snow on a sidewalk in Newark, Ohio in January.

Courthouse View Threw The Alley

A view of the Licking County Courthouse through the alley on my way to work.

Late Afternoon Sunlight On The Drive-Thru Line

This drive-thru for a major fast food chain is notorious for being really, really slow. As the drivers sat there frustrated, I noticed the beautiful evening light beaming around the city.

Watching The Water Go By

As I was standing at the waterworks spillway in Newark, Ohio contemplating things as the water roared over the spillway, I noticed these 2 gentleman on the other side doing pretty much the same thing. The pipe kind of adds to the look of contemplation I think.

Let The Light Shine

Sunlight reflects off of melting snow onto a man walking in an alley.

The Nine

An attractive lady passes by, survey crew discussing numbers, sign says a 9. Maybe I'm the only one that sees these things in photos I take, but about one out of a hundred seems to have things like this just pop up in them.

Stunning Green Hair

It's an odd thing to see green hair. It's odder to set it on an attractive person. It's the oddest thing to be watching a waterfall and see a green-haired lady across the river. Odd, but that's what happened when I took this photo.

Umbrella In The Sun

In the Spring in Ohio, pays to be prepared for rain.

Shot Through The Railroad Bridge In Newark, Ohio.

Standing near the railroad bridge, I seen a person walking in deep thought with a car coming and workers making street repairs.

An Alley In Newark, Ohio

Brick patterns and a reflection of the sky in a puddle in a Newark, Ohio alley.

Reminiscent Of The iPod Commercial

I was out for a walk at a trail called Blackhand Gorge near Newark, Ohio and I spotted this young man across the river listening to music as the river rolled by. The white headphone wire reminded me of the iPod commercial the people were a silhouette and the iPod and headphone wire were contrasted. It also reminded of me of days spent at the river in my youth. Nothing to do but enjoy the scenery and relax.

Ice Cream Face

A little girl getting photo taken as she eats ice cream.

Waiting For The Speech To End

While at a boring speech, I noticed this man looking interested, but fidgeting with his hands behind his back.

The Controversial Red Camera

I love to here the pros and wanna-be pros bitch about colored cameras. On a purely technical level, sure they make no sense. On a human level, hell yes they make sense. They're a conversation piece. Who do you think got better pictures at this air show, the guy with the intimidating mega-pro camera or this personable lady with her cute red camera? I say, if you like the way a camera looks and feels, you're going to use it more. You're going to want to carry it more. If they look awesome, the non-photographer is going to want to inquire about it and talk more and that's going to lead to more chances for great photos. Nothing wrong with a pretty red camera at all.

A Detour Best Not Taken

State route 666 detour in Ohio.

Wing Tattoo

Wing tattoed photographer shooting airplanes.

The Party Crasher

It all started with a little drug-fueled fight with a hay bale at a concert,. After the hay bale, the man in the middle decided to move onto larger bikers. Didn't turn out well, but they were nice and escorted him to different location.

Biker Salemanship

This biker was selling wares at a motorcycle rally. Some salesman are so confident, they don't need a shirt.

Home, Home On The Range

This buffalo is going to a different type of range, a kitchen rage to be more specific.

Railroad Bridge In Mount Vernon, Ohio

I took a walk around the neighborhood I grew up in. I crossed this railroad track many times as a shortcut to school.

Man In A Bathrobe At A Construction Project.

The man in the robe was walking around downtown in his bathrobe and shower shoes. He wanders the town in various "costumes" I guess you'd say. Some days he's dressed in gangster outfits, other days like a professor. You never know what character he'll be playing. I'm not sure if he's crazy or just playing different roles to catch a reaction. This day, he was explaining the finer points of Hitler and how it should be applied to the bible. It made no sense.

Burning Time And Money

Factory smoke in the background looks like smoke pouring out of this antique-styled Heartland Bank clock.

A Box Truck Next To the Tracks

This box truck sits outside of a newspaper office and it made me think of how all modes of communication and transportation sometimes converge into one. The aged railroad next to cars, trucks, and telephone poles with a cell phone tower in the background. A jet's contrail leaves a cloud over all of it.

Pokemon Hunter

A man willing to go above and beyond to find a Pokemon at Buckeye Lake.

Bones The Harley-Davidson Rider

The bones of a Harley-Davidson rider sit on a Ford truck bumper.

Crazy Boots

There is quite a bit going on here. The crazy red boots, the Illuminati all-seeing eye on top of The 10 commandments, the sports gloved hand holding a flower stem with no flower, and a baseball cap with a trench coat and pajama bottoms. It's a captured moment in time that makes no sense.

Crazy Red Shoes Lady

This is becoming a theme in my town. Crazy people in red shoes. This is the second photo I've caught recently. This one happened the day after Thanksgiving as I was headed to work. It was way to cold for that dress. She was dancing wildly with her head covered in a sweater.

Color Preference

The red truck with the a red trimmed house and the blue truck with a blue trim on the other house made me think of freedom with all of the red, white and blue in the photo. There are even stars on the houses. The photo was taken in Murray City, Ohio, an interesting little town. I stopped in the American Legion and had some great conversation with the people there.

The Dumpter In The Sky

The work on the dome of the Licking County Courthouse continues. With the giant courthouse condom on it, there's no seeing the progress taking place. I sight like this with the dumpster is the only evidence work is going on.

A Sign Of The Times In Central Ohio

Anti-heroin sign on a pickup truck in Central Ohio is an indicator of more outrage at the problem.

Third World Powerline Configuration

We like to think that we're advanced, but this entaglement of power and communication lines really reminds me of something I've seen in documentaries of Vietnam or India. This is right in Central Ohio.

Back Alley Doors For A Main Street Business

These are the back alley doors for a Newark, Ohio business. I'm not sure, but the wiring is probably old telephone wiring. I could be wrong though. It could still be in use.

Walk More

You suddenly realize you enjoy walking and need to to it more when you start walking. When you're done, you quickly forget.

Woman Walking Past The Door

Just one of the many people that blur past during a business day downtown.

What Danger Awaits Above

I noticed the chemical filled tanker rail cars sitting on a crumbling bridge. The only warning indicators are for a low clearance.

Strange Paint On An Italian Village House In Columbus, Ohio.

An old neighborhood transitioning into a trendy area will have it's oddities and code snafus. I think that's what's happening with this artfully painted house in Columbus, Ohio.
