Bike Ride: Columbus Downtown

Image
The weather has been so nice the last week, it reminded me of a ride that a friend and I took last year around this time. Like I said the weather was beautiful, we rode around the downtown area, where we found some interesting places to take some pictures. I'm not sure if we were supposed to be trekking through these places but it was still cool to explore. Here are a few of the photos from that day. Situated near the railroad tracks that run north from downtown sat this silo that --by the looks of it houses a few homeless people from time to time. I feel this is appropriate for today, being Blog Action Day focusing on Poverty. I don't really know how my photo's or blog can help the homeless in our city and world but I want to at least try. So this is me urging you, as well as myself, to find ways to help those around you that are less fortunate. The next two shots are from this same location. An old fuse box that tell of the age of this silo. These was a lot of beautiful...

Ale81 ( A Late One)

Image
I had another post ready for today but have decided to postpone it in order to present a photo of my favorite beverage . . . Ale81! This is a beverage that is only made in Kentucky. Only lately has it become available outside of Kentucky, but still nowhere near Columbus, Ohio . . . until recently. Tabitha and I were in the grocery the other day picking up the essentials and we walked through the soda isle (this is rare because we don't drink or buy soda) and sitting gloriously stacked on a shelf in front of us was Ale81. I was so excited I almost dropped the basket full of groceries! (We bought two six packs.) What does Ale81 taste like? Heaven.

Rubber Ducks: Huddle

Image
Alright, this is the last one of the troupe on the plain white back ground, at least for now. It's time to get them out into the world around them. This is them discussing where they would like to go next. . . Hint: where do all Rubber Ducks like to spend their time ?

Rubber Ducks: Photo Shoot

Image
I was toying around with some new lighting configurations the other day in my studio (spare bedroom). Naturally, I had the Ducks stand in for me. I like what I got and am sharing it with you. . ."You" being the supposed millions of people out there anxiously awaiting glamour shots of Rubber Ducks to magically appear online.

Rubber Ducks: Troupe

Image
I had so much fun shooting Speed Duck a few weeks ago that I thought I'd give the ducks another go. I remember that when I was painting I had a thing for painting Rubber Ducks. I found these stored away with some of my old painting supplies. Different medium, same obsession. Oh well. . . I think its safe to say that we'll be seeing a lot more of this Little Yellow Troupe.
