Sunday Hike

Kyle and I went hiking at Fort St. Clair in Eaton today. Here's a few of the shots I took.

Octoberfest Photos

Saturday was our towns Octoberfest Parade & celebration. I posted a lot of photos on my FLICKR site and on Facebook, but wanted to post this one here as well. It's my favorite of the 100+ photos I took that day.

Red October

I got up early this morning and headed out to catch the sunrise when I saw it's first glimpse in the East. What a beautiful morning we had. Hope you enjoy these photos!

Friday Night Music

My friend Tony Howard asked me to come see his band perform last night and to bring my camera, so could resist free music and a chance to take photos?

Tony had his father on Steel Guitar, Chubby Howard, and Rusty Rhoads as well. Rusty came in from Nashville to play at a show in Fairborn this Sunday and sat in with the band. If you've never heard of Rusty, he played Steel Guitar for Kid Rock, yes Kid Rock!

Long story short, it was a great show with some great music.

Sunset

Was lucky enough to get out last night and snap a few sunset photos. Going urban photo shooting tonight with a friend, should be interesting.

Sunday Hike

Imagine walking beneath a canopy of trees while watching the sumbeams break through as the sun rises, giving you a wonderful show of colors and light. That's what I did Sunday morning at Five Rivers Metro Park - Germantown. I set an alarm to get up early, had my backpack and camera equipment packed and ready to go, and was there when the park opened (not a usual thing for me to do on a Sunday morning!). It was 68 degrees and humid when I got there, but the shade kept me comfortable. I hiked about 4 1/2 - 5 miles for the better part of 3 hours, stopping to take photos along the way and really enjoyed myself. I've included one of my favorite shots here, and you can go to my photo site to see more.

BLOG Name Change

Some of you may be noticing a name change to my BLOG. There is good reason for this. Several times over the past month I have sat down to write a post and the idea of talking about sales and marketing just isn't that exciting. Yes, I still work as an Account Executive, but when I leave the office, I turn that part of my life off and don't want to talk about it or anything to do with it. My real passion, other than my family, is photography, especially nature photography.

I do plan to write more as I travel around, taking photos, talking to unusual and interesting people, and making my photos available for purchase from my website (I have a link on my home page to purchase photos now!).
