Brother Micah at UC

Brother Micah, an evangelical (some say heretical) street preacher paid his annual visit to UC this week. Our new photographer Justin Tepe and I put together a slideshow of it on the TNR website. Guys freakin crazy.

HDR and shit.

First attempt playing with HDR - I plan on buying the $100 program when I have the money.

Skimpy updates...

Well I made photo editor at The News Record , so I wont have the opportunity to go out and shoot as much as before - I'll mostly be in the office working on other people images.

I plan on continuing to shoot stuff on the side, but I think most of my updates will be text based from now on.

Like this one:

Girl at a game

This little girl was running around the stands at a UC baseball game, playing with the free handouts.

Cannabis Legalization March - Downtown Cincinnati

The "Million Marijuana March" hit Cincinnati today, and drew about 150 people to the courthouse in downtown Cincinnati. It certainly beat shooting the Ky. Derby yesterday - there were hippies.

Hippies with their bongos


The cops showed up for a bit, mainly just to check the permits that the people selling pipes and hemp clothing were all in order.


One of the things that the orginizers brought were three 5 ft long megajoints. Here a protestor offers the THC-free joint to cops surveying the crowd.


They took some teamwork to light.


But when the finally got going...


Chris "The Anarchist" Ryan shows off his Yippie (Youth International Party - Y.I.P) pins dating back to the 70s when the movement got started.


This girl was in charge of University of Cincinnati's student involvement with the protest. She's selling THC free pot and hemp papers.
