NEXT TO FINDLAY - My wife and I happened to go to Findlay Market the first time they opened on Sunday. The city had spent money dressing up the exterior of the buildings and the sun was shining. It was a beautiful day. I was glad I had my camera.

OVER THE RHINE - This view of the "over the rhine" area in Cincinnati covers about two miles. That means there can be no haze if you want a clear shot. There aren't many haze-free summer days in Cincinnati. I tried often, but it took me almost two years to get this shot.

SAINT FRANCIS DESALES - This home to Catholics in East Walnut Hills was dedicated in 1879, and is also home to “Big Joe”, the largest church bell in the U.S. This shot could not have been taken without the help of digital photography.

SAINT MARY'S CATHEDRAL BASILICA OF THE ASSUMPTION - The design of St. Mary's in Covington, Kentucky was inspired by the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The interior was modeled after St. Denis in France and contains murals by Covington native Frank Duveneck.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER - One of the best views of downtown Cincinnati, northern Kentucky and the Ohio River is from Mt. Echo Park. On this particular morning, all that was just the background. Glad to be an American!

JOHN A. ROEBLING BRIDGE - When the first pedestrians crossed the bridge on December 1, 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The first two days 166,000 people walked across the bridge. It formally opened on January 1 1867 with the toll for a horse and buggy of 15 cents. The pedestrian toll was one penny.

TYLER DAVIDSON - Just after I took this shot, a by-stander tapped me on the shoulder and said “That won’t work. You shot right into the sun.” I guess he was right.
