Ohio State Snowday (Video)

Frogs, Frogs and more Frogs

Last Saturday I had an assignment to shoot the new COSI exhibit Frogs: A Chorus of Colors on the opening day. When I first found out that I shooting a frog story the first thing that jumped into my mind was a great picture that my good friend Adam Cairns took this summer. Its the little girl blowing on the frog (below). So heading into assignment I wanted to get a great shot like that. Well, once I got to COSI I knew that wasn't going to happen since all the frogs were locked up. After an hour at COSI I was happy with the image of a little girl sticking her tongue out at a frog along the glass(middle). I wanted a better picture, so i waited, waited and waited for the prefect shot of a little kid touching a group of frog pictures. I was really hoping that a little kid was hop along like a frog, but I was dreaming. I settled for a great picture of a little kid holding his stuffed animal frog while pointing to a Solomon Island leaf frog(top). Figuring out what kind what type of frog the kid was pointing to took a while, but in the end it was all worth it. Look out for video coming to my blog about a snow day at Ohio State today.

PS, Adam let me use his frog picture for this post. Thanks Adam, still like your picture way better

snow angles

It took me a while to get this picture from someone, but Leslie conned me into making snow angles in the snow with just jeans on. Anyways, when was the last time you made a snow angle?!?! I would say its been at least 10 years for me. I think that everyone should make a snow angle each winter, it will make you feel like a kid. :-) Thanks to Leslie's mom for taking the picture.

Winter Wonderland

I had some nice wildart of last weeks winter wonderland in Columbus. The sledding picture ran really big the next day in Metro and the other one which I liked better didn't run anywhere but the web. And yes that is a picnic table they are using as a sled. I hope the winter starts to go away, I am sick of the snow and the really cold weather. I want spring to be here now!

HESS Family

This is a picture that my aunt pam sent me and its really fun. We have Steven who is the tallest person in a family next to Reed the shortest person in our family at a wedding during the fall of 2008. Good Times.

Steven by the way, Reed looks way better than you all dressed up, take notes son.
