Just outside of Prestonsburg, Kentucky I drove past this house thinking it wasn’t much. But just around the corner I stopped for a Dew and decided to turn back around and take a closer look. I’m glad I turned around because I really enjoyed shooting this house, and I got to meet a Floyd County Sheriff! I thought I was headed to jail, but he turned out to be a nice guy. He did tell me to leave, but actually followed me around while I shot. It’s like he knew he should have made me leave, but wanted to let me stay. All said and done, he let me shoot everything I wanted to!

Here’s the rest of the gallery. Enjoy!

I found this little church on my way to Prestonsburg, Kentucky last week. I typically stop and shoot these “little white churches” and go on about my business. I often find them on my way home from a camping trip on Sunday mornings. I’ve thought many times about stopping and attending a service, but I’m paranoid they may be snake handlers! Joking aside, maybe one day I’ll work up the courage to stop in one of these little churches.

Here’s just a couple more. Enjoy!

For the past few years I’ve gotten up on New Years Day and gone out for an all day photo trip. This year I missed New Years Day by a couple of days. This gallery is from my first photo trip of 2010, January 3. My goal was to shoot a Mail Pouch barn in Adams County, Ohio. I did end up shooting that particular barn (Adams County barn), along with 3 others, a couple of Churches and some other barns. The last Mail Pouch Barn in the gallery is the only Mail Pouch Barn in the country with all four sides painted with Mail Pouch advertising. There are a few close-up shots of Harley Warrick’s signature.

Here’s my first road trip of 2010 gallery. Enjoy!

I was on my way down to pick my son up from work tonight and decided to take my camera along for the heck of it. Driving down the hill towards Newport on the Levi I saw this awesome sunset. Since the last time I had my tripod setup at the Levi some idiot rent-a-cop tried to have me arrested (to long of a story to go into here), I decided to go down on the river below the Levi to shoot.

The lower shot here is the whole panoramic comprised of 17 photos stitched together, and the upper shot is a cropped section of the panoramic.

Thanks for looking!

We had our first major snowfall of the year today. Although having lived in North Dakota for close to 3 years I’d have to say this is nothing. I do however have to admit that the cold bothers me quite a bit more than it did 30 years ago in Minot, North Dakota. I shot this 18 image panorama on my way home tonight. There are also some shots of the Old Towne Center in Mariemont, Ohio which I shot at lunchtime today. There’s one showing what I see from my office window and another that shows our office.

See the rest here. Enjoy!

I never travel more than 50 miles away from home without searching the web for Mail Pouch opportunities near where I’m traveling. Irecently traveled to Prestonsburg, KY for work and discovered I would be passing near these 2 barns.

I located the first just outside of town on Route 114 (Old Middle Creek Rd.). My normal method for shooting on private property is to shoot as though I’m supposed to be there. If I can see for sure someone is home, and I don’t fear being shot at, I’ll ask. If it appears no one is around I just go for it and pray there’s no “killer” dogs around. As soon as I got out of the car a dog ran up to me barking, which sent me running back to the car. Just as I got my hand on the door a lady yelled to me, “he won’t bite!”. I wonder how many people have heard that right before getting bit? I’m a trusting sole so I stopped running and the dog was indeed fine. Although he did bark the entire time I was shooting, he was fine with me being there. After I introduced myself and asked if I could shoot the barn she said that would be fine and that it has been shot many times in the past and is “on that computer Internet thingy”.

The second barn was less than a mile away on the same road. I almost drove right past it because it’s hidden behind some trees. This made it difficult to shoot an overall shot. I did get some overall shots, but nothing I was happy with. I love the red versions of the barns so I shot some detail shots and 12 image panoramic (shown above).

This is a 9 image panoramic I shot for my wife’s nephew. He’s a student at U.C. and emailed me a while back with a camera phone image from a friend’s dorm room. He said he thought it was a great shot and wanted to know if I canvas make a canvas print of the image for him. My guess is that the canvas print would have been about 3 inches long coming from a camera phone, so I decided to shoot a new one for him. I’m hoping he’s more impressed with my shot than the camera phone shot!

Click here to see a “zoomable” image and see how much detail is actually in this shot. See if you can find the guy playing tennis in a green t-shirt! The full sized image is 21,339 pixels by 4276 pixels making a whopping 261 MB file.

Digging through the archives I ran across this panoramic I shot last year on my way into a meeting at P&G.
