I have been working on some side projects over the winter so my postings have dropped off but my family and I will be leaving for Europe next week since my daughter is on spring break.  I will be visiting Amsterdam, Brussels & Paris during my visit and traveling via the European high speed trains between cities.  This will be my daughter’s first trip to Europe so I am really excited for her.  Paris is my favorite city on earth so to be able to show her the extraordinary architecture of this amazing city makes me happy.  The trip will depart from Cincinnati and I will be gone for a week.  Depending on internet connection at my hotels, I might post some teaser photos from our adventure.  Hopefully once I get back, I will get out and about in some of the Cincinnati neighborhoods I hadn’t photographed yet.  In the mean time, feel free to visit my previous photos from Paris.

Over the weekend I was enticed by a friend to go out with him and shoot some photos of Cincinnati.  I was hesitant because of the cold weather but with a little convincing on his part I couldn’t pass up the offer so at about 10PM and a temperature of 10 degrees, we hit the hills around the city capturing the beauty of Cincinnati on a cold Winter night.  At one point we were even pulled over by Cincinnati’s finest asking what we were doing.  After his suspicion cleared we went back to work.  During one of our explorations, we decided to pull into the Paul Brown Stadium surface lots for a close up on Carew and PNC Tower. – Yes I know, if only those parking garages were built with “The Banks ” sitting atop…    It was during this time that I adjusted my camera’s settings for “vivid” capture to saturate the colors of the red lights shining on PNC Tower’s Greek columns.  Unfortunately I forgot to set the color adjustment back so my skyline shots from Park Hills & Price Hill are very saturated.  I decided to post them anyway because I figured some of the visitors to this site might enjoy the saturated colors.  So for all you photography critics out there, that is the reason for the over saturation.  The new photos were added to the “Cincinnati Skyline (Night) ” gallery and the “Cincinnati Buildings ” gallery.  If you are interested in viewing all the photos in sequence you can view them on this thread at Urban Ohio.

Since I have been hibernating lately, it has given me a chance to work on the next video from my photography of Cincinnati.  It is simply named “Cincinnati 2006” and it is the second video montage comprised of photos from Cincy Images.  The video is six minutes long and contains photos exclusively from the city of Cincinnati during 2006 put to music.   The video is 22mb and requires Apple Quicktime to view. I have also created an iPod version, so if you are interested in downloading it into your iPod, send me an email and I will be more than happy to provide you with a link.
