St. Patrick’s Day 2010

Well, I knew I was going to have a busy day this year on St. Patrick’s day.. so I didn’t get up AS early as some of you party animals – but, I was drinking a dark, delicious Guinness at around 9 am. That’s a far cry from 6:30 am like some troopers. Maybe I’m getting too old for that nonsense? Nope, just had too much going on that day to get drunk first thing in the morning. If you’ve started following my blog at all, you’ll see that later that day I photographed a wedding too.. probably not a good idea to show up drunk to a wedding.. Heck – I don’t want to accidentally drop one of my cameras!! Well, rumor has it – that Cock n Bull changed their first keg of Guinness somewhere around 7:25 in the AM. Now, I cannot confirm or deny this rumor – but take a look at the gallery of images I captured for Cincinnati Metromix – and see for yourself. I made it to Cock n’ Bull and Molly Malone’s. Things were really hoppin at 9 o’clock in tha mornin me laddys. So, top o’ the mornin’ to ya.

Armory Show 2010 – New York City

Last week, I had the pleasure of traveling to New York City with a group of artists from the University of Cincinnati to see the 2010 Armory Show at  Pier 94.  The show ran from March 4-7th and featured an enormous collection of art from the 20th and 21st centuries.  You can see more art in one day at the Armory show, than you might see in a whole year in Cincinnati! So much inspiration and creativity to behold.

It was an honor to photograph a gallery of images for New York City Metromix – which can be seen HERE.
