To whom it may concern, I started my little amateur hobby of photography nearly a year ago and have had a blast with it ever since. I try my best to not talk too much and let my photos speak for themselves but the hobby has simply given me so many great opportunities (and excuses) to go out and explore places I had no reason to before alongside networking and meeting others. I hope I'll be able to continue to improve in the craft, as I appear to have since I began, and continue to push the envelope on my own capabilities.

Something I've noticed during my city photography escapades is the lack of color that I had expected to see when I began. As a kid I had this idea that cities were vibrantly colorful and so on, most likely influenced by media and family members who had passed by a city to visit other family members, but unfortunately I have yet to find one that I could really say lived up to my childhood expectations. Going through old footage from the era of neon tubes and film grain brings a slight jealousy out of me when I travel and instead see flat paper advertisements adhered to windows and the torturous stab of bright white LEDs that drown out what little color there is. Hopefully one day I'll find a hidden corner of some other place that still has color to it, until then the saturation meter is my best friend.

It only took me a year or so but I finally got around to returning to Cincinnati. I got to explore a lot more than my last trip so I have some new photos and a few homages to my first photos. It was kinda funny going back and revisiting the first spots where I started figuring out how to use a camera. In any case I'm hoping to have a few new places lined up for me to visit soon and probably a few old ones as well. Thanks for being on this adventure with me and hopefully I'll have something different in the works soonish!

This was my last chance to wear my trench coat before my area goes from a winter wasteland to a humid jungle overnight.

Tried to pull off a Kyle Reese but ended up with an Aiden Pearce.
