Taking the train..

This is the old train station in Trotwood, Ohio. This railroad was completed in 1854. After observing the commercial opportunities this railway presented, Amos Higgins - the community's first successful entrepreneur built a railway station, tavern and inn and named it Higgins Station. This image was shot in early morning while the sun was still low. Shot using NIkon D300, 28mm, shutter 1/125, f/6.3, 200 ISO. Click on image to enlarge for true resolution.

Model planes located in front of the Aeronautical Engineering Buildings at Wright Patterson AFB.

The Graffiti Wall

These are some graffiti murals on the side of a Shop-N-Lock in Dayton, Ohio. The first is "Etch" and I believe the 2nd is "Heist". You may see these as backdrops for future portraits.
