Harmony cd single release party

2011-01-23T09:24:00.000-05:00

Friday evening I had the opportunity to photograph a special event in Lima. The singing duet of Harmony had a cd single release party at The Ohio Theatre. Their single, Bittersweet, can be downloaded by clicking the link below. It was a fantastic night and I was very happy to see that Lima came out to support local talent like that. The Theatre was very much alive and looked fantastic. Nicely done, ladies.

For those of you who attended the party, here's a link to the red carpet photos available for viewing & purchasing as well.

Artist Spotlight: Libbi Pennington

2010-11-03T10:52:00.000-04:00

Here are some sample works from a talented friend of mine. Libbi Pennington of Lima is an artist who specializes in acrylic painting, as well as glass & paper mosaics. If you're looking for original art that's oozing with creativity & life (something not purchased from a large chain store - yuck), contact her. Libbi has various pieces for sale, but is also very willing to set up a consultation with clients to discuss what they are interested in. A quality custom art piece of any kind is a great gift idea. Libbi's paper family tree mosaics are incredible and as one-of-a-kind as you can get. Show your family's history through art - how cool is that?

My work is meant to be fun, and definitely not boring. That is why I tend to use bold, bright colors in most everything that I do. Libbi Pennington

This past week I had the opportunity to hang a gallery of photographic work in the new office of Dr. Eric Stallkamp. His practice is located in the 750 Professional Building next to St. Rita's Medical Center. In total, the collection has 20 b&w pieces. The theme of the gallery focuses mostly on downtown Lima architecture and various area landmarks. Here's a sampling of the collection...

Kids on the Farm 2010 photos

2010-09-08T11:30:00.001-04:00

The 2nd "Kids on the Farm" photo shoot was great. Thank you to all the parents who brought their families out to the farm (despite the sweltering heat). I truly appreciate the opportunity to photograph the many wonderful families, and especially the kids. Below is a sampling of the images created from that week.

I especially want to thank Kay Studer of Buckeye Blooms for allowing us to utilize her beautiful property. It is a blast getting to shoot at such a unique & gorgeous location. Thanks, Kay.

Goin' home

2010-06-27T10:47:00.013-04:00

First of all, let me say as a disclaimer that the following is not a joke that I made into a cute little blog piece, nor is it something that I ripped off from a Readers' Digest article. This is a genuine anecdote that I felt obligated to share with the world. Or, if not the world, just the 3 people who occasionally check out my blog.

Here it is...

Last weekend (Father's Day) our family was partaking in a raucous game of wiffle ball in my parents'-in-law backyard. It was a great evening weather wise, and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate being a dad than to engage in an American classic pass time such as that. Truthfully the adults playing enjoyed it as much as the kids. I particularly enjoyed the part where we were permitted to throw the wiffle ball at the children in order to get them out. Very satisfying.

At one point during the game, the 5 year old grandson of the neighbors next door popped around the corner and we immediately asked him to join us. He seemed to enjoy himself, although I don't think he understood the rules entirely. We helped him along and explained the order in which he was to run the bases after hitting the ball.

Then his curious behavior started.

We noticed that after he hit the ball and ran to the appropriate base, he would announce that he was leaving and then proceeded to exit the yard and disappeared to the other side of the privacy fence. Moments later, he'd return, ready to take his turn at the plate. Again, he'd hit the ball, run to the base(s), stand there for a few seconds, and then announce he was leaving again and then solemnly walk off the field, out the gate, and back over to his grandparents' house. We were confused to say the least.

Was he not having fun? Was he getting a drink of water from playing so hard? Was he sick? Had we done something wrong? Was he intimated by how I gleefully pelted my daughters with the plastic ball at any opportunity that I got? Very odd.

He repeated this behavior probably 4 times. Finally, he came back over to our side of the fence, and again, hit the ball and ran to first base. We awaited to see if he'd stick around this time.

He did.

But as he stood there, instead of announcing that he was leaving again. He said the following:

"Do I really need to 'go home' again?"

In the words of the prison warden in the 1967 classic film Cool Hand Luke, "What we got here is...failure to communicate."
