Three Midwest cities

Assignments took me into the midwest this summer, but I’m not here to talk about that – instead I’ll further share things that interested me in between working.   Cities I’ll focus on are Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Louisville.  Ready?

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA

I had only previously visited Indianapolis once and wasn’t too impressed – I won’t lie, I wasn’t blown away the second time around either.  Ironically I got away my favorite photo of the entire trip in downtown on the circle.  The following two photographs were captured with my Fuji 35mm camera, which I absolutely adore bringing with me.

CINCINNATI, OHIO

Cincy is one of those places I need a good couple of weeks to get a grasp of. There are a lot of new buildings, a ton of urban decay, and everything in between.  This is a view of Cincinnati from across the Ohio River on the Kentucky side.

This is what I saw a lot cruising through the city.

I stumbled across the shut down Lafayette Bloom School, and urban school with neoclassical cues.

Did I mention I love my 35mm Fuji?  Such great detail and color handheld.

The University of Cincinnati campus is spectacular.  It’s an architectural melting pot with a history of big-name designed building constructed over the years.  It was neat just to see though I didn’t necessarily photograph it all.  This is part of the Campus Recreational Center – that long angled bar above?  Those are dorms.  That’s right – dorms.

I think this was Turner Hall.

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY

Louisville was the only city I hadn’t really been to before, so I was stoked to finally visit.  Checked out the <a href=”http://alicenter.org/” target=”_blank”>Muhammad Ali Center</a>  and <a href=”http://www.sluggermuseum.com/” target=”_blank”>Louisville Slugger Museum</a> while downtown, not to mention got off a few photos.

Most of downtown is pretty walkable, so it was nice sauntering around with my 35mm.


Crossover (2016)

On the way back to North Carolina I found this abandoned house in West Virginia – because you know I had to find something.

That’s going to be it for fun blogs for awhile, I gotta pay some bills y’all.
