Favorite photographs from September 2018 that didn't always have a place in a larger story or post.

FC Cincinnati played its last ever USL match at Louisville. I missed the first half that got rained out on a Saturday evening, but caught the second half because the game resumed a few days later when I was free. Soccer on a baseball field is awful, but I totally understand why it happens. In a way, it's fitting given the current rise of the sport's popularity compared to the propagation of baseball in the early 20th Century. Baseball spread across this nation like a weed, creating all these minor league ballfields, and now soccer is doing the same thing and using those same minor league venues to grow.
Some friends also pulled this off...

This past month, I got inspired to get back into shooting 35mm film. I ordered some cheap Kodak off of Amazon and dug up some old cameras. The Nikon N80, seen above, worked (with some issues), the Canon AF did not. I was able to get a Minolta XD-11 good to go again...
...as well as a Pentax K1000.
Here's a few examples:
 |
| - Minolta XD-11, Downtown Cincinnati. |
 |
| - Nikon N80, I-71 outside of Cleveland. |
 |
| - Pentax K1000, abandoned factory, Cincinnati. |
More film coming to QC/D later.

The
story of Lesourdsville Lake/Americana Amusement Park is what kicked off this website over a decade ago. I went back to see what's going on there these days and to work on a followup story. More on that soon.
QCD Updates This Past Month:
Only got around to putting one story together, but it's one I enjoyed:
The Continent | Step into an a partially abandoned "lifestyle center" a.k.a. an upscale outdoor mall.
