Not sure what the hell these guys are – or if they’re even guys – but they caught my eye at a sale stand at Stan Hywet Hall in Akron a few months ago when I was there with my daughter for Kite Day.
Is it me, or does it seem like the one in back is up to something?
Taken during a break in the action on a slow night back in late September 2009. Gerard Lavelle was working the bar and had walked away for a minute to ad some turf to the fire. Despite the small crowd, the craic was mighty (it’s only “ninety” in the Isle of Man – Paddy Reilly can explain).
Found this liquor and beer takeout just a block from Old Trafford, the home of FA Cup powerhouse Manchester United, while on a visit back in 2007. Attached to this building is the United Cafe with the faces of current and former Man United players painted on its exterior. Pretty cool place.
A nine-member Press Club of Cleveland panel from across the media spectrum discussed the challenges of covering the wide-ranging Cuyahoga County corruption probe and its complicated and sometimes rapidly developing events and intricate details at an Oct. 14, breakfast event at Nighttown in Cleveland Heights.

Was always intrigued by all of the trains at Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s East 55th Street Rail Yard. Pulled into the lot at 55th and I-490 on the way home from work a couple of years ago and captured this image on black & white film with my Canon AE1.

Columbus Road lift bridge west tower at Riverbed Road – at the foot of Irishtown Bend – in Cleveland’s Flats, just outside Major Hoopple’s bar. Just thought it looked cool.

Cleveland blues and rock songstress Kristine Jackson is joined by Ruairi Hurley at Tremont’s famed Treehouse bar during what became an impromptu local all-star session one Sunday night back in 2007.
The camera was set on a bar stool.
I was tending bar that night and playing around with my Canon AE-1 film camera in the bar’s low light environment. Having at least a half-dozen of Northeast Ohio’s finest rock musicians and performers there made it all the more fun.

Matthew Hoover & the SuperSaints were one of 10 bands to shake the BairdStock Stage in Wellington, Ohio, for the all-day Bandango 5 Music Festival on July 31.
While it was a lot of work to shoot the bands who kicked it off at noon and packed it up at midnight, it didn’t seem like it at the time. These talented bands played nearly all original stuff reminiscent of the late ’60s and early ’70s rock scene, complete with the lyrical depth and musical emotion that marked that era of rock ‘n’ roll’s coming of age.
The event was well worth the $15 admission price ($10 presale) that included free beer and camping on the BairdStock grounds. Fans were mostly 20-somethings, but there was a pretty solid showing from older fans, too, who were just as into the music as everybody else.
Really, it was pretty cool.

The less glamorous side of Cleveland’s economic engine. A great number of jobs that fuel Northeast Ohio’s economy are carried out far from the suits and conference rooms at East Ninth & Euclid.
An awful lot of money moves past, over or around the dirt and grime alongside the Cuyahoga River at Quigley and West Third, beneath the I-490 overpass.
The St. Louis Old Historical Courthouse shot last July the night before Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game at Busch Stadium. Begun in 1839 and completed in 1862, it was the site where slave Dred Scott in 1846 filed his lawsuit asserting that he and his wife were free citizens because they had lived with their owners in several U.S. states and territories that banned slavery. It took 11 years for the case to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 1857 handed down the landmark Dred Scott Decision that denied freedom to Scott and all slaves of African descent, stripping them of all rights commonly recognized for whites. The courthouse is now part of the federal Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park, named for what has become known as the Gateway Arch.
