When editing this, I realized that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “new” looking statue in a garden. They all look like something out of a horror movie, or maybe some British scifi tv show. I’m not a fan of horror, but something about the aging garden statues made of stone really captures my […]

Stoned Flowers
I find statues both intriguing and creepy as heck. Something about them both looking ancient and somehow ready to come alive. However, if you’re going to photograph human figures, it’s definitely easiest to do it with ones that don’t move a lot.

Muddy Locks
You might notice several shots similar to this throughout the site… there aren’t a lot of waterfalls within easy driving distance of Toledo. The old locks at the Side Cut Park in Maumee are probably the most interesting. I like the combination of stone walls, trees and vines, and the water. The trick is going […]

Winding Water
One of these days I will get some waders. I always find shots like this that would have been so much better if I could have moved about a foot sideways into the flow.

I was excited to find out Toledo had a Botanical Garden, though to be honest I’d been spoiled for it having been to the one in Madison, Wisconsin with my folks. Toledo’s doesn’t have nearly as much in it, though there’s a nice river and bridge and some neat statues. I’m not sure what it […]
Channeling the Flow
This is probably one of the more common shots I’ve seen online by photographers living anywhere near Toledo. It’s the remains of the Erie Canal Locks at Sidecut Metropark in Maumee, Ohio. The water level is pretty different from one day to the next, and so far most of the times I’ve made it there […]
Trickle Before the Flood
On the way back from a trip to Hocking Hills State Park I decided to stop at the O’Shaughnessy Reservoir to try to get some sunset photos of the dam (I’d been there once before but was hoping for a “fall” look on the trees this time.) I was disappointed because the water was barely […]
