My photo and music blog, now in its third incarnation since it started in 2006. First Blogger, then Wordpress, now Tumblr. I am a hobbyist photographer, based in Columbus, Ohio. I love music, all different kinds, but mostly classic rock and jazz. I love design and art and Ohio and England and food and science fiction and all sorts of things, but mostly only take pictures of things in Ohio.

Behind Johnnie's Tavern
... No idea. But apparently, they've got the best burgers in town, so if I stop by for one, I will ask.

Sells Brothers Circus Mural
The once-famous Sells Bros. Circus was based near Grandview Heights where this mural is located (at the intersection of Goodale & Northwest.) There's a street in Grandview still named Sells.

Fabulous midcentury building. Always loved it, and given the rate at which wonderful old buildings are getting destroyed in Columbus, I figured it was long past time to document it.

Scioto River
Upper Arlington, Ohio

One week on, the river is melting. As I was there taking these, the river would periodically make noises like something rolling heavily across it, then a cracking noise. I think it's supposed to warm up this week, so more noises, more melting.

I have long loved the typography on this building's signage.

Santa Two
The other Santa I got pictures of Saturday. He went up a couple of weeks ago with a commensurately sized reindeer, but a night of high winds found the reindeer on the ground the following morning and he didn't go back up. I hope he wasn't broken. :(

Santa One
The first Santa I took pictures of Saturday. They're both notable, and I've been wanting to shoot them for weeks.

Roxbury Arms
Upper Arlington, Ohio
May 25, 2024
An early 20th century mansion in one of the wealthiest parts of town, it was home to one wealthy family, then another in short order; then became part of an apartment complex, strangely.
This is the front of the house; its back is to the street, with much smaller apartment buildings between it and the street, and other apartment buildings surrounding it. It cannot be seen at all from the street. You have to know it exists to be able to find it at all. I was fascinated by it after I found it about it this last winter, and then saw an estate sale there in May, so of course I went.
Just the one apartment I went in was amazing. stairs and hallways and rooms all over the place. Interesting layout, beautiful old features.

Grand Lake St. Mary, St. Mary Ohio; July 4th, 2024
Mom and I are heading out tomorrow for an overnight on Grand Lake and a photohunt for me. The water becomes more beloved, more sacred, and feeds my soul more with every year.
