Abstract Christmas Lights

I really like this image. Totally abstract and yet has that christmas vibe with the colors. The unexpected and lake of control is what draws me in.

Cannoli



I'm trying to take more food shots. This is Chocolate Chip Cannoli from Publix. It was cool shooting it but better eating it.

Pumpkin Pug



This is Blaze. She's not really model dog material. Her tail was wagging so I think she liked dressing up. She only has two looks though. Sad and Pathetic. She is cute though.

Halloween Pugs - Don't Tell PETA!!!


Christmas Pugs


Rachel and I watched my parents pugs over New Years. They might be cute but they are all trouble. Hopefully it will sell some next year.

Downtown Cleveland at Night



Cleveland, the mistake on the lake at night.

Christmas Lights in Ohio


McKinley Monument in Ohio



One of the worst presidents in history. The George W. Bush of his era. Look it up.

Palace Theater in Ohio


The Day After Christmas


Cleveland Lit Up During Christmas


Piles of Corn Husks in Amish Country

Winery in Amish Country



This is a winery in Amish Country. The wine is pretty crappy but the atmosphere is nice.  As a religion, it has some good ideas. I like the idea of rumspringa where they let the kids be kids before choosing to become Amish. The idea of churches in the home instead of religious facilities, strong work ethic and idea of simplicity over technology are to be admired. Things I disagree with are the act of shunning if one does not become Amish, inbreeding, and stopping school after the 8th grade.

Snow in Downtown Cleveland



The snow is really pretty. The snow is also really cold. I shot this image laying in the snow with a small travel tripod. It's downtown Cleveland with lights and all of the winter atmosphere. It was snowing at the time with lake effect wind. Still better then spending time in the local Mall.


Skating Akron



I've been to Ohio a couple of times. I always considered Canton and Akron the same. I realized that Akron is the city and Canton is the country. One edgy, the other more safe. I took this image at an outside skating rink in Akron. I love the motion especially the three person train at the bottom right.

Trees in Canton Ohio in the Winter


When I took this image, I looked at the lcd and smiled from such a simple image. It was pretty cold that day. No snow but still cold. Around 5 i guess. The light was great and the trees looked so great together. Still looking good even without leaves. The moon and the sky, railroad tracks. Ohio can be pretty miserable but on some days it feels nice.

Happy New Year 2010

Who knew that $5 Champagne could make you feel so good. Listening to Pandora and releasing that my music tastes are pretty damn good. Here are a list of New Years Resolutions that I will probably cross out half when I become sober.

1. 1 poster a week. I really want to turn out good work and I think a week is enough time to do this.
2. Exercise 3 times a week. I already feel like crossing this one out.
3. Sketch and brainstorm more. I jump to the computer too quickly and I think my designs suffer.
4. Read More, Watch Less TV.
5. Do More Things Around the House. It's sooo much more fun relaxing. This is gonna be a hard one.
6. Take my dog to the dog park once a week, as well as brushing her. She deserves it.
7. Go back to school and get a real degree. It's sooo much more fun relaxing.
8. Try to spend more time with my brother. We're twins but so different. If I knew he was gonna vote for Bush in 2004, I would of broke his kneecaps to prevent him from getting to the polls.
9. Push myself more in Photography. I want to go from documenting the world around me to altering it.
10. I feel like a magazine and have to end on 10. I've never seen one with the top 9 vacation destinations. I guess I'll keep it vague. Continue to strive to be a better person.

Happy New Year!!!!!! 2010, only 10 away from perfect vision.
