Cleveland can be, at times, a nice place to visit.
Note: This post, and all of my other photography posts, will now be hosted at andyhenryphoto.com I was afforded some free time on New Year’s Eve so I took a little walk around the University Circle area. Starting at the Cleveland Museum of Art is always preferred whenever I have anything creative to attempt (my [...]
Photos: Christmas Dinner Drive
Instead of annoying each other with the obligatory presents at Christmas, every year a group of us head out on a night of drunken bacchanalia. This year was wonderful. We started at the Velvet Tango Room, a true “grown-up” bar that we had been meaning to include previously but failed. We will be back. It is nice [...]
Cleveland Ingenuity Festival 2010
Cleveland has a very intersting gathering every year called the Ingenuity Festival. This year it was held on the Detroit-Superior bridge’s lower level. This level was once used for passenger train transport and has lain dorment since that closed up. It is an incredible space that spans the Cuyahoga river, giving beautiful views of the downtown [...]
The Judge
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. The Geauga County Fair is an incredible piece of Americana. Due to its location near the pseudo-civilization of Cleveland, it can have its modern influence. However, much of it is a world away from that environment and still strongly shows its old ties to the land. [...]
The Colors and the Storm
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. I was given a neat sky to work with the fall colors. A storm had passed through just before me so I stopped at a few spots on my drive home for some snaps.
Machinery Making Modern Music
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. Friday and Saturday of this week saw the Mid-West Band Organ Rally at the Lake County History Center. This is the first time I have visited the center since its controversial move from Kirtland Hills. It was a very nice day to do a quick [...]
Photos: Working Dog Weekend
This weekend is the Working Dog Weekend at the Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland. Every year, normally on a rainy June weekend, people come from the area to show what they do with their dogs. While all of the exhibits are fun, only a couple really showcase “working” dogs. Dogs leaping off of the backs [...]
Photos: Zoo Portraits
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. I was on vacation once… it seems a million years ago but it was a mere two weeks. Anyway, we went to the zoo. And I have a new nifty long lens. And all the animals wanted to pose. I’m sure there was a memo. [...]
Photos: Pups at Speed!
These photos were taken a couple weeks ago before The Walter’s latest knee surgery. Many sticks were thrown (and not brought back for what being in its right mind brings a stick back to a stick thrower) and running was had that day, I tell you.
Photos: Crashing at the SCCA Regional
This page is now hosted on my photo site, andyhenryphoto.com. Auto racing is a dangerous sport. Driving quickly around slithering tracks with aggressive compatriots can be a recipe for crunching of bodywork. The following photos are of an oops. Three cars were bunched up, lap after lap. Then they came upon a slower car. The [...]
Photos: Passing at the SCCA @ Nelson Ledges
See some pics of fun passes at the SCCA Regional Races at Nelson Ledges.
Photos: Meet the Kitten
Meet our littlest cat, Otto. He is a Japanese Bobtail, muscular and quick, and certifiably insane. Over the three years we have had him he has gotten a bit better but he still is not what one would call gregarious. The woman acquired him while she was working at Penitentiary Glen. The Wildlife Center there tends to [...]
Photos: Spring at the Botanical Garden
The Cleveland Botanical Garden is a wonderful newish museum in the University Circle area. It is a very well put together place with beautiful greenhouse areas and well groomed grounds. The English and Japanese gardens are a special favorite. I wanted to get here just as things were starting in the spring to get images [...]
Photos: Ikea Lamp
The woman came back from her last trip to her Mecca with an intriguingly shaped lamp. It is just a simple collection of white translucent plastic shells arranged around a bulb. Suspending from the ceiling it is a clever piece of sculpture. The best thing, however, is the absolutely beautifully warm, diffuse light it gives. [...]
Photos: The Long Drive Home
I have a new route for my ride home from work. It is really circuitous but it only adds about five minutes and it is absolutely gorgeous. So today I played around sticking the camera out the window to catch some of the light of the sun setting behind me. No children were run over [...]
Photos: Homesteading
I was afforded a few minutes Saturday to run around outside and take pictures. Surveying the ruins, as it were. The Cabana, sadly, is dead. This year we are going to have to extricate it from its current location and pawn it off on somebody else. It is actually still in fine shape if [...]
TEST: High ISO Panasonic GF1 and Canon T1i
This test is a comparison of the noise level encountered when increasing the ISO settings of a Panasonic GF1 and a Canon Rebel T1i. I find the T1i's ISO performance acceptable for my night time, indoor uses. The much smaller sensored GF1 seems to lag behind. The purpose of this test is to [...]
Photos: The Temperature At Which Color Drains…
Black and white images are very interesting with certain subjects. It just so happens that snow and bleak skies can be one of those subjects. How convenient. I live someplace with bleak skies and have a new covering of snow. Sometimes I just feel blessed. Saturday the woman and I went to the book store [...]
Overcast Fakeout
The weather this time of year is a bit flaky. One minute it is snowing and overcast and the next it is snowing and overcast. I mean, I think it does do other things than snow and the sky shows other things than overcast but I just cannot think of what that might be. So [...]
