Balluminaria 06 : Balluminaria is one of the largest tethered hot-air balloon festivals in the country. Nearly a dozen full-size hot-air balloons are secured around Mirror Lake in Eden Park. As dusk falls, the flames that heat the air in the balloons cause them to glow -- an effect that's reflected in the water. To add to the festivities, the park folks also bring out some holiday music, mounted Cincinnati Police officers, a visit from Santa and free balloon hats and animals for the kids. Due to a family emergency, I was unable to attend Balluminaria 2008... hopefully I'll be there for Balluminaria 2009!

Spring Grove Cemetery (IR) : Spring Grove is the second largest cemetery in the United States. Established as a non-profit cemetery in 1845, Spring Grove is a trusted part of Cincinnati’s history. Cincinnati's rich tradition and history is beautifully preserved among acres of towering trees, soothing lakes, and winding roadways. Cincinnati families from all walks of life including such notables as Taft, Kroger and Procter have entrusted Spring Grove to preserve their unique family history. All photos in these galleries were taken with either a Canon 10D-IR, or a Canon 50D-VIR, infrared modified DSLR's (By LifePixel). -Jim

Tall Stacks 2006 : This gallery contains pictures from Tall Stacks 2006. This celebration takes place every 3 years on the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio. Riverboats from as far away as New Orleans come to Cincinnati for the 3 day celebration on the river. The celebration in 2006 also included a hot air balloon glow on Saturday and Sunday evenings. We had absolutely perfect weather for the event in '06 for all but one of the days (Thursday). I went down to the riverfront every day with the exception on Thursday to shoot. In addition, I went on a cruise Sunday morning on the Natchez, which was an added bonus. All in all, it was certainly the best TS yet for me! Too bad it may be the LAST ONE.

Zoo Blooms : Zoo Blooms 2005
The Cincinnati Zoo asked me to come and take some publicity photos of their annual Tulip festival for them. These shots would be used during the promotion of the event in 2006. Several shots ended up in the Zoo magazine, Cincinnati Post, and on the Zoo's website to promote the annual event. I also went back to shoot the event again in 2006. Noticeably absent in 2005 was the Zoo's train, which was down for maintenance during the entire event. -Jim 

Zoo Blooms 2006
I was invited back to the Zoo again this year for the annual Zoo Blooms event. The Zoo planted even more Tulip bulbs this year, and the train was also up and running. This year I ended up attending later in the day which made the light straight up and overhead. This gave some interesting results in some of the shots, making the tulips look like they were lit from the inside. It's an interesting effect. I think next year I will go early in the morning to get the strong side lighting (see 2005 shots), and stay to get some of the strong overhead lit shots again like this years. Enjoy the Tulips! -Jim 

Zoo Blooms 2007
This is my third year shooting the annual Zoo Blooms event. The Zoo planted 80,000 bulbs this year. This year the weather was a real problem. We had a spell of warm weather early that fooled the bulbs into thinking it was spring. Unfortunately, it turned cold again, and the first chance I had to get over there to shoot was already late in the bloom. I tried some ground level shots this year for the first time. I like the effect. It's kind of difficult to find new ways to shoot flowers :o)  Hope you enjoy the gallery! -Jim

Tall Stacks 2003 : This gallery contains pictures from Tall Stacks 2003. This celebration takes place every 3 years on the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio. Riverboats from as far away as New Orleans come to Cincinnati for the 3 day celebration on the river. The celebration in 2003 also included a hot air balloon launch on Saturday morning. This shoot was particularly troublesome for me. My Canon D30 ended up being dead (battery) when I got down there, so I shot all the pictures you see in this gallery with my EOS 3 which was loaded with slide film. The morning I went down there was a very heavy fog on the river that didn't lift until well after the sun was up. To make matters worse, they do not allow tripods inside the gates, and I had to leave mine at will call when I went in. As you can see by looking at most of the shots on the river, there was not a lot of light. I had to brace the camera against anything I could find in order to get usable shots. Since everything was on slides, I had no idea if I was actually getting anything worth keeping until after I got my slides back. This ended up being one of the last times I took the D30 on a shoot. Shortly afterward I upgraded to the 10D.

2001 Corvette : This gallery contains pictures of my (now sold) 2001 Corvette. I bought this car new in February of 2001, and couldn't resist pointing the camera at it on many occasions. The Magnetic Red paint on the car made it particularly brilliant in photos (although sometimes it was difficult to photograph). Some of my favorite photos of the car were taken at Ft. Desoto park in Florida. The Sunshine Skyway bridge can be seen in the background of some of these shots. -Jim
