Postcards

I don’t know how best to describe my relationship with or affinity for postcards. On one hand, they’re a unique gesture—an expressive medium that occasionally exemplifies good photography. On the other, they’re simply a means of communicating sentiment. They also serve as historic footnotes—representations of certain places, documentation of when those locales were held dear/promoted, how a physical space appeared at a certain time.

[Views of Cincinnati] Carew Tower Observation Deck

The observation deck of the Carew Tower, the only one open to the public in Cincinnati, is vastly different than that of most major city tourist attractions. It served as the location for the five newest frames made in support of 224 Views of Cincinnati.

[Views of Cincinnati] A Series Named Southbank

In every city I go to, I feel the best way to truly see that city is to ride public transit. You see the real parts of that city, the people, the life on the streets. It's a better way to view an unfamiliar urban core and get a new perspective on a place you know well.

Another Time Lapse and Changing Focus

Showed the last time lapse to some classmates during a critique and people seemed to like it. Working on a way to integrate them into the 224 Views of Cincinnati project. Maybe matte a tablet and play various time lapses on a loop? Definitely plan to shoot more of these.

[Views of Cincinnati] "Landmarks & Long Skies" + A Walk in the West End

On the city's west side, weeds and grass frame the skyline ahead, remnants of a vacant lot surrounded by the neighborhood. The lot has yet to be developed and is a stark contrast of urban wilderness amongst the dense Italianate row houses. The nearby laughter of children, voices of residents and sound of firecrackers saved from the Fourth of July echoe the activity of a neighborhood once decimated by a highway - rising again.

[Views of Cincinnati] Crown of the Queen City

The story goes that Gyo Obata, the architect behind the Great American Tower (the city's tallest building), was inspired to model the building's spire after the tiara of the late Princess Diana. Here it is seen from the top of the Carew Tower.

From the walls of the Freedom Center, to the reflections in the grid of 312 Elm, a gritty view from the west, fireworks over the river, abandoned streets and a tribute to the memory of Bob Saget - six new photographs in the "224 Views of Cincinnati" series.

[Views of Cincinnati] #46 Airlift

"There's no door on your side, is that gonna be ok?" Why wouldn't it be? I figured he meant there was only a door on one side of the aircraft and I'd be up against a solid wall, but as he checked our seat belts - I realized there was literally nothing between me and the atmosphere except for my camera.
