Hot Rods on the Street

Every July, the Ohio Expo Center is the home of the GOODGUYS National Street Rod Conventions.

GOODGUYS

The streets of Columbus start to look like the Fifties, with flame hooded hot rods, cruising up and down High Street.

For a photographer in Columbus, the streets are awash in color. It is an awesome sight.

More Street Rods from Goodguys

Cruise in to Columbus to See the Hot Rods

This weekend is the Hot Rod show. Try to catch it.

Holiday Weekend

3 Day Weekends Are Great!

Independence Day - The Fourth of July

Red, White and BOOM! in Columbus, Ohio.

My favorite holiday of the year.
For one day this divided country forgets our differences.

Blue states & red states are United States.

The Spirit of America is reflected across the country.

Jazz Dance

Here is a Jazz number from the recital.

Spring Concert - Columbus City Ballet

Saturday, June 14th, was the Spring Concert for Columbus City Ballet at Thomas Worthington High School in Worthington, Ohio.

The program included La Bayedere and mixed repertoire.

All the hard work paid off in a beautiful production.

Ballet & Dance - Spring Recitals

One more post from the archives before this year's recital photos are ready.

Ballet - Spring Recital Season

It's almost summer and that means Dance Recitals are in full swing.

Here is another dance from the Philipines.

More Dance from India

Indian Dancers at Asian Festival

Here is a group of dancers in Bollywood style.

Asian Festival

Another of the Fillipino dancers with fans.

Asian Festival

Here is a new photo from the Asian festival in Columbus on Memorial Day weekend. There are many volunteer opportunities and I was fortunate to be able to volunteer as a photographer for the event. There was great dancing, singing and musical performances. The costumes were stunning.

Delft Town Square

A view of Dutch architecture from the Town Square.

Dykes & Canals

All the water in the canals, held back by the dykes, is the reason for all of the windmills. A windmill can raise the water level by 10 feet (3 meters). So many times a poulder (reclaimed land) has several levels of dykes and windmills to raise the water to sea level.

Riding on train, it is interesting so see houses with a 6 foot high dyke holding back a canal in their back yard. The water level is above their first floor windows!

Another Day, Another Windmill

Here is another of the Kinderdijk Windmills. The cows reminded me of home.

City Hall in Delft

Delft; the city in Holland that is famous for its blue painted pottery. This is the doorway to the city hall in the center of the town square.

Windmills in Holland

The largest collection of Windmills in the Netherlands can be found in Kinderdijk. Many of them are still in operation.

Still Life in Barcelona

The almost open air market in Barcelona, "The Boqueria".

Barcelona - Arches as Frames

A photography exhibition in Barcelona, Spain.  The exhibit was held in the castle, in the old city, in the heart of downtown Barcelona.   Travel Photography by Will Brenner, Columbus, Ohio.

Dog Training

Our famous dog, hard at work, hitting the books.

Portrait Photography

Who could go wrong with three angels like these?

German Churches

German churches, more prolific than German castles.

German Castles

Muenster has a beautiful Castle.  It looks more like a Palace.  Behind the castle is a fantastic Botanical Garden.

A Patriotic Prom

Prom Night - Garden Photo

Flowering Trees like the pink dogwood make spring formals even more spectacular.

Prom Night Gallery

The gardens are beautiful this time of year.

Prom Night by Will Brenner

Well it is Prom Season, and tonight is a beautiful night for these beautiful couples, on their way to their senior prom.  Here's wishing them well as they head off to college in the fall.

Dramatic Theater

Another shot from CAHS.

Here Lady Macbeth is wringing her hands.

Out, out damn spot. 

A Columbus Photographer in Germany

Here are Ursula & Michael Frühwald in the Schlossgarten, the Castle Garden, in Münster Germany.  There are formal gardens and a botanical garden, located walking distance from downtown.

Ursula & Michael are great tour guides.  They made a visit to Münster all the more interesting.

CAHS Performance of Macbeth

This is my favorite take from the entire performance.  Lady Macbeth at her most diabolical.

It was a stunning performance by a high school troupe.  Minimalist in costumes and set design, it was Shakespeare to the max.  The dialogue was faithful in its reproduction.

Stacia again.

This time in the shade of a building.  She's at the edge of the shadow, so that as she leans over, the sunlight catches her hair.

There's a reflector in front of her, to provide fill.

Dance Photography in Columbus

A favorite "capture the moment" shot.

OSU Graduation Portrait, Columbus OH

Congratulations to Nadine Kamiya on the occasion of her graduation from the Ohio State University on March 16, 2008.

A feat, in and of itself, Nadine's graduation was extra blessed by the attendance of her four children, including the 11 month old twin girls.

B&W Portrait Photography, Columbus, OH

I don't shoot Black & White very often, but sometimes a scene just calls for it.

That's the way this one was for me.

This is Jenny at Image Makers Studio in Pontiac, MI.

Stacia in the Plaza

Arches are a repeated theme for me.

Having the opportunity to photograph a great model with an arch in the background is even better.

Stacia is Lady Legs on Model Mayhem.

NY Travel Photography - Soho from Columbus, OH

When in NY, my favorite art gallery to visit has to be Louis K Meisel Gallery, on Prince Street in Soho.  There are some amazing finds there, although some are bigger than my walls.  Maybe it's time to look at a loft, for those over size pieces.

 

Animal Portrait Photography in Columbus, OH

Our beloved dog Paquita makes her appearance today.  Our guardian, defender and fearless companion.

Springtime. Finally!

The Butterflies agree, although this one was inside the Franklin Park Consevatory.  It made it to 78 degrees today.  It felt like Silk Degrees. 

Unfortunately, the forecast calls for rain all weekend.

A Springtime Nature Portrait

After a long wait, and several setbacks, is seems that Spring has finally arrived.
