Joust! This is a long sequence of
shots taken at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. The knight and squire
lived to laugh about this later! Click on it, then slide to the right. |

A few of the visitors from
this year's Ohio Renaissance Festival. It's not only the hired
entertainers that make the day fun! |

Fun, fun, fun on a warm summer
night at the Mary, Help of Christians Festival in Fairborn, Ohio. I
thought this shot was sort of spooky and really depicted the odd tension in
the air as more and more festival goers began walking in less-than-straight
lines. |

Two of the instructors at the
Stephen K. Hayes Quest Center in Dayton during a demonstration. I
highly endorse their teachings of To Shin Do. My kids just love it. |

A girl running swiftly during
a soccer game. I used a panning technique with this one and shot it
with a longer exposure. The ambient light was quite dark at this
point. I rather like the Futurist feel to it. |

Sporadic snowfalls are part of
the bargain in Ohio. We generally wait and wait, then, as soon as
we're convinced it will just be a cold winter with no snow, we get 10
inches. |

People gathered at a
candlelight vigil in late winter. Solemn prayers in the dark. |

This is one situation where
the solution to an accessibility problem worked out in an aesthetically
pleasing way.

Make sure you notice the tiny
little hiker looking at the water falling from the overhang. We are so
small in the grand scheme of things.

Driving is such a huge part of
the American lifestyle. What would our culture be like without the
highway system? Will we ever get effective mass transit systems so we
can stop all this madness, or is our country just so spread out that there
is no way to get to all the places we want to go via rail lines?
The sign says it all "hey guy,
you're already a crazed lunatic behind the wheel, don't make it worse by
being drunk as well." |

Always keep a mindful eye for
the thundering elephants on wheels. |

Watch as the silly little
vehicle, like a preposterous toy poodle that yips and jumps incessantly for
no good reason, goes zig and zag through the traffic, dodging vehicle and
traffic barrel alike. |
|

|
|
 |
The mind-numbing glare, hazy
smear of orange barrels against the black of the night's invitation to
sleep. |
