Thanksgiving 2011

For Thanksgiving, Krista’s family – her parents Keith and Gail and her sister Erika – came to Cleveland to celebrate with my family. We visited the Cleveland Art Museum and various places downtown.

Cleveland Skyline (2004)

My hometown, beloved Cleveland, Ohio. This is the view from the Hope Memorial Bridge, the location of the Art Deco relief on my Home page.

Cincy by Night (2006)

Cities based along a body of water lend themselves to night photography. The skyscrapers glow upward from the streetlights below, and reflect their multicolored light onto the water.

The night was just windy enough to gloss over the water, and make for a classic ‘postcard’ shot.

Jefferson Hall (2003)

This is a shot of UC’s newest residence hall, shot from the balcony of my third floor suite in Sawyer Hall.

Somehow, the building doesn’t seem real. It looks like the computer renderings the University shows to all the prospective students.

Euclid Hotel (2003)

The Cobb & Bradley Building, at East 57th and Euclid in Cleveland, was built in 1901 as a hotel, a restaurant, and a hardware store.

Abandoned since the seventies, not even pidgeons reside here anymore – unless you count the skeletons in the window sills of those who failed to escape.

The building is in quite a state of disarray – the sixth story roof is now on the fourth floor. Mick Jagger supposedly shot a music video there in the 90′s, which would explain the piano on the third floor.

I was terribly disappointed when I found out the project had been scrapped – I was imagining living there after I got out of school.
