The Stacks

Today The Ohio State University selected a photo of mine of the newly renovated William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library as their Image of the Day. I just noticed that it is also featured on the Ohio State home page! Thanks to the University for that! As I've promised there are…

Horses Got it Pretty Good

In Columbus' Brewery District there are a number of old brewery buildings in various stages of decay and restoration that attest to the ever fading memory of the old German Village's mouth watering relationship with beer. Some are simple brick utility buildings while others display a degree of flair and pride in their architecture.…

William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library

The Ohio State University Main Library reopened last week after years of major renovation. Of course this third major renovation largely corrected baffling decisions made in previous renovations.

Krematorium

THE PERUVIAN POSTCARD

Ok, so I had to post it no matter how cliché.  In October of 2008 we were in Peru and, of course, Machu Picchu.   The place is ridiculous when it comes to photography - for professionals and amateurs alike.  From all vantages it's a 360 degree postcard quality setting.  The views from these…
