Went out today with my friend Andy Schock. It was a beautiful day, until the storm clouds started to come in. Even yet it was still a great day!

That’s Andy leaning on the car, probably posing.

The human eye is essentially a camera. The iris seems to work to control the size of the pupil, just like an auto exposure camera. Look at the photographs below.

This is my neighbor Cody and this is his eye.

Here the pupil is a bit larger and the iris(which looks like a landscape) has a formation.

Now the strands in the iris seem to have change around a bit and the pupil has become smaller.

At the beginning of March, Findlay, Ohio flooded once again due to melting snow and rain fall. Findlay has flooded the past few years several times over. This time the flood did not get as bad as the 2007 August flood. Here are some of the digital shots I took. Also waiting is black and white film which I shot a majority of the flood with. Those are coming up once I get a new scanner.

I shot this photograph last summer in Stuttgart, Germany. The man was speaking at a Kurdish protest. I do not know more details on the situation. My brother and I purely by chance stumbled into the protest.

I am on my way to skate with my friend when we see this big smoke cloud from across the city. We were on the other side of the town. We follow it and get to a big fire on an empty downtown Findlay building. I ran around it to get some various different angles!

Here are two photographs of a preacher in Central London. I was walking up and down the streets looking for people to photograph just having fun, and then i stumbled upon this man with a microphone preaching from the bible. It turns out he is from another European country(I believe Hungary) here to preach the gospel. I had another kid come up to me who was doing the same thing. The only difference was that this kid was walking up to people and talking with them. He was I believe from Hungary as well. I shot a photograph of him as well and I will be putting it up later on. For now enjoy this man and his serious emotions!

During the first part of Spring and Summer, I was skating with Craig Parsons every weekend. We shot a lot of footage and I took quite a bit of photos of Craig to be used in ONE Magazine. At the moment we have only gotten material for the website and are still in the process of shooting for the actual print copy. Below are two photographs that were used for the short Blade Life interview of Craig on the ONE Magazine website. You can read the interview below as well.

The Kettering Skate Plaza Showdown (KSPS) happened on June 26th 2010. It was a pretty good turn out but I don’t think it was as big as last years. But yet all the people skating still managed to get hurt and try some pretty crazy tricks! Two play rails made from wood and PVC piping were added to the obstacles. A lot of the guys would grind the p-rails and transfer to either the down ledges or down square rails! Some even tried to launch from grinding the p-rails over the stairs and certainly some got quite hurt.
I have uploaded the rest of the photographs on my flikr account if anyone would like to see the rest. The link will be below. If you like what you see, subscribe! There will be plenty of new photographs in the future uploaded there as well as all my Europe photographs.

I recently went on a trip to Bulgaria May 10th – June 7th. First touched down in London. Next I flew to Germany to go visit my brother in Stuttgart. While at both London and Germany I shot some street photography and I got some pretty good stuff.

From Germany I left on a bus with my Brother from which we proceeded to drive through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and then into Bulgaria. Here is a photograph to start of the project I am working on to show culture and life in post communist Bulgaria.

Stay tuned for more updates of how my trip was and more photographs! I shot over 800 exposures of Black and White and Color film while over there!
