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.
