Zinc House

Here is a home that I recently photographed for architect Jose Garcia.  We had a perfect day for shooting this house with all the glass and beautiful fall colors outside.  By the time we completed the day we shot over 60 different angles on the house.  It makes it hard to edit.  More can be seen HERE

Cincinnati Observatory Center

I recently shot at story for Cincinnati Magazine on the Cincinnati Observatory Center.  I made 5 trips to their facilities during the month of August.  The two National Historic Landmarks sit atop a hill in Mt Lookout, OH.  The Observatory is home to the world’s oldest telescope still in use nightly by the general public.  You can view more images from the story here: Observatory

This is old…from February 2009, but I really like the shots of the girls. It is from Natural Bridge near Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Isabella and Madeleine both made the mile trek up and down.
