July 27, 2013 - Hopped in a car with 3 guys to drive to the Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania, filming location of the 1978 George A. Romero horror film ‘Dawn of the Dead’. (They still had an Orange Julius!)

July 24, 2018 - I am that guy when you see a dear friend at the store and insist on taking a photo with their sons. I am so sorry, but also not.

July 23, 2012 - We’d vote blue as the sky that autumn in my home state of Ohio. Now I’m 52 and still live here. Got a boyfriend, a cat and tons of friends with daughters. We all prefer smaller government that stays out of our bedrooms, libraries and doctor’s offices. I understand the assignment.

July 22, 2009 - Outtake of the Dessners and Deals from a series to promote The Long Count, a 70-minute music and multimedia piece that debuted at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. (We’d rush the bench out to get takes between traffic.)

July 21, 2013 - After years of planning, 5 Points Alley opens up to the community of Walnut Hills. To commemorate the occasion a new brewery called Rhinegeist tapped some kegs.

July 20, 2016 - Mural of Rosemary Clooney (designed by Natalie Lanese for Artworks) getting painted in Over-The-Rhine. (Now obscured by a mixed use development, but an empty lot in city shouldn’t last forever.)

July 17, 2008 - We started with t-shirts but explored other ideas at Wire & Twine. One notion was to find neat old objects, make photographs and sell prints. We abandoned the concept but were left with some lovely artifacts.

July 14, 2015 - Getting ready to watch the movie ‘Spy’ with Joe and Casey. I’m not a huge proponent of sequels but I’d super enjoy seeing Melissa McCarthy revisit more undercover CIA characters.

July 10, 2005 - I recently just took a photo of this same spot in Northside. The vodka mural and all that ivy have been removed. There are two gay bars in view, sadly gone. But the block has evolved with new life, new places and new art.

July 6, 2013 - Chris & Julian share a moment celebrating friends (and wine) in Santa Ynez. The whole weekend was all sorts of surreally awesome.

July 4, 2011 - After the July 4th parade we went to the heart of Northside to tour the American Can Lofts that were under construction. Previously this old factory made parts for can-making machines but had sat vacant for years. They were accepting rental applications. I picked one up and would move in that December.

July 5, 2013 - Holding a framed photo of Michael Jackson, part of a memorial at the gates of Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County, California. I would lose my iPhone here (but didn’t forget my camera).

July 3, 2007 - The iPhone had just come out 4 days prior and I remember this moment β€” referencing an email on a client call β€” thinking this was a glimpse of the future.
