I grew up in the historic area of EPH, and I particularly enjoyed your pieces on the Masonic Lodge and pre-rehab Elberon Apartments, two places I'd been by a million times, but never been inside. <br /><br />I worked my share of night shifts at the radio station in college, so I know that feeling of "Hello? Is anyone out there paying attention to me?", but I assure you, there are readers out there who do care and who appreciate the creative and thoughtful efforts you've put into this site over the years. Art always reveals the artist, so maybe a blog doesn't need any more purpose than to share your experiences with your fellow human beings....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-34062817979150919722016-06-17T11:57:00.014-04:002016-06-17T11:57:00.014-04:00WOW!!

Within your photos you are able to show the beauty of what exists and tell the story of what was. <br /><br />Life happens and as you get older it just gets busier. I appreciate the effort that you give and am pumped when I stroll by here and see that there is new content.

I almost asked you yesterday about your not posting anything new here. But I do understand how life gets in the way eventually. Between your career, DI, and being in a relationship, I'm surprised and glad that you still keep QCD in the mix. Your photography is amazing and your "storytelling" compelling. It is the sort of adventure that I would never undertake, but reading about it makes me feel a part of. The one that I did take was the Cincinnati Subway tour before they shut it down again. It was thanks to QCD that I even knew about it. It has also given me a new appreciation for history and for Cincinnati. I wish I knew you back when I worked for Bell, I'd have loved to have been able to get you into the building as a guest.Baalthazaarnoreply@blogger.com
