Photographs made over the past month that didn't have a place in other stories. Images made with a Canon 7DMKII and iPhone 7+. Also, a recap of stories from the past month.
Some interesting notes about October:
- QC/D turned ten years old.
- I used to author this site under the pseudonym "Gordon Bombay," the same name of Emilio Estevez's character in "The Mighty Ducks" trilogy. I met Emilio Estevez this month at a bar.

The stories from October 2017:
Blue Jacket - A closed outdoor amphitheater near Xenia, Ohio used to be the home of an outdoor drama until it shut down and had a date with the wrecking ball.
The Return of Schwartz's Point - Years ago, as a City Beat intern, I photographed a little known, hidden jazz club in Cincinnati. Its eclectic owner passed away and the club closed. Now, his daughter has brought a great place back to life.
[Fading Advertisements] Forgotten Frisch's - An old Frisch's Big Boy sign is uncovered in Downtown Cincinnati and leads to one of the site's most popular stories.
Blink - This new Cincinnati festival brought lights to the city as well as thousands of people and clogged traffic. Was it any good?
The Queen City Discovery 10th Anniversary Special - QC/D turned a decade old. A clip show of sorts looking back at some of the most popular articles, my personal favorites, and where the site is headed in the future.
