Family concert night at Alum Creek
Family of three joins the large crowd listening to the Westerville Symphony and the High Street Stompers at Alum Creek Park. My Final Photo for July 12, 2013.
Chasing the sun on a Friday afternoon
The sun dances across College Avenue for My Final Photo May 24, 2013
I’m always chasing the light looking for its variety of ways to illuminate my day and help me shoot better photos. Rarely does the sun itself become the subject of my work. It’s never gleefully danced down the sidewalk and across the street in front of me. Until today at Fourth Friday in Uptown.

Fourth Fridays are always a challenge for me. I shoot every one of them starting and ending at the same times, on the same streets, with the same vendors, and many times the same crowds.
It can be especially frantic if I’ve given myself an assignment for the night or need a specific photo to continue or complete a project. I always come away with a photo that I’m proud enough to display or offer as a stock image.
That happened today when the sun danced into my viewfinder. And, I love the yellow Chucks.
Deciding which of the two photos displayed here was difficult so I went with the one that let me write about a photographer chasing the sun. That doesn’t mean I didn’t like the photo at right where the sun’s expositional posing appears to shock a foursome of teenagers hanging out at Fourth Friday.

Pair of kayakers enjoy early spring trip on Hoover Reservoir
Pair of kayakers enjoy early spring trip at Hoover
Taking an afternoon trip across Hoover Reservoir wasn’t a fool’s chore for this pair of young kayakers who braved chill winds and choppy waters for their first outdoor adventure of the spring.
Despite temperatures barely above freezing and a brisk wind from the west, the pair completed one crossing with a round-about return near the bridge where they encountered headwinds that buffeted their single person kayaks just enough to make the return difficult.
Despite the hazards and cold breezes they discussed their next trip to the lake although both hoped it would be a little warmer next time.

And, the day wouldn’t be complete without an iPhone Hiopstamatic Tintype of the duo.
