Goodbye, “Mecks”
“Mecklenburg Gardens was the new-to-us, but definitely not new-to-the-city, pre-match meeting spot. Boasting a renowned beer garden, the oldest restaurant in the city became our place.”
Of Ferris Wheels and Failed Lunch Plans
Just wanted some ribs in the remains of an abandoned fireworks stand.
“Hey Man, Give Me That Camera or I’ll Shoot You”
Photographs of Los Angeles at the end of a trip to the West Coast.
House of Hades Returns
Six years after investigating the mysterious “Toynbee” and “House of Hades” tiles, new ones have begun to emerge in city streets.
Vaillancourt Libre
Near an iconic San Francisco building, there exists a fountain that feels like a scene from the animated Ninja Turtles come to life. A brutalist interpretation of a waterpark steps away from where a Mel Brooks movie was filmed in “the world’s largest hotel lobby.”
League Stadium and the Dubois County Bombers
“This ballpark oozed nostalgia. The kind that MLB suits fetishize, yet rarely emulate.”
Two Days on the Pacific Coast Highway
From a seaside Taco Bell to a beachfront amusement park, Big Sur, the land of windmills, and more.
The Bridge and the Battery
Before my friends and I departed San Francisco for a trip down the coast, we decided it was time to visit the symbol of the city. What followed was a tumult of emotions and situations. A rapid shift of perspective and feeling that, like the bridge itself, was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before.
A Miller-Boyett Production
“…but who among us never quoted a song in their AIM ‘away message’ or on the profile pages of late MySpace and early Facebook?”
In this case, I used the theme from Full House.
This One Goes Out to “Santa’s Little Helper”
“If that ‘one phone call’ thing was true, I didn’t want to use mine for explaining to my cousin that her officiant was going to miss her beachside wedding because he was in some ‘Circus City’ lockup.”
Random Photographs | January - May 2023
Random photographs that didn’t necessarily have a place in a larger story or post in the (almost) first half of the year.
W. Frank Steely Library
A photographic look at Northern Kentucky University’s iconic library.
On the Road in Kentucky at the End of March 2023
Testing a new camera on truck stop diners and American relics before running out of film at the strip club built from a former Ponderosa.
“Bach in the (Cincinnati) Subway”
“Bach in the Subways” is an annual occurrence intended to bring awareness to not just the work of Johann Sebastian Bach, but classical music in general. Cincinnati doesn’t technically have a subway, so we used the closest thing: the abandoned tunnels of the never-completed subway system.
Things Left Behind
“It was one of those nights where I drank too much gin and started talking to the dog…”
…I then went looking for a man I only knew in my mind.
A follow-up to a 2009 story.
