Second Street Photography, LLC I photograph faces (mostly in Columbus) and places (everywhere else). Portraits that don’t feel staged and stories worth keeping. Uncommon by design.

Four years of showing up, growing up, and figuring it out. He’s standing at the edge of something bigger now -- and looking forward, not back.

Golden light, a weathered wagon, and this grad relaxing in the afternoon sun. My memory is fuzzy on whether I've posted this before, but the late-autumn vibes earn a repeat.

Across the street from the Swedish Royal Palace, with centuries of grandeur at my back, this little yellow ticket kiosk on the harbor is what actually stopped me. Steamships waiting at the dock, cobblestones catching the lamp light, and a small glowing box holding its own against a palace. It all matters.

This is Nyhavn. It means "New Harbor" in Danish and was built in the seventeenth century. It’s a small stretch of canal, colorful townhouses, and waterfront restaurants in Copenhagen's city center. Those buildings really do lean the way they look — from centuries of settling — my camera wasn’t crooked. 😅 I shot at sunrise, before the crowds took over: It was just the buildings and old boats and canal water — which was still enough to double the houses in the reflection. It’s my last day in Copenhagen before I head home tomorrow and this felt like the right note on which to end the trip.

This bus stop sits along a divided highway somewhere between Narva and Tallinn, Estonia — it has two lanes in each direction with average speeds around 70KPH.

Bus routes still run these corridors to serve scattered villages that would otherwise have no reliable way to reach the nearest town. The shelters give people a place out of the weather while they wait, regardless of how fast the traffic around them moves. It's a small bit of infrastructure, but it says something about the country's priorities: Modern roads for cars, built without abandoning the people who don't have one.

Helsinki Central Station, designed by architect Eliel Saarinen and completed in 1919, is one of the finest examples of National Romantic architecture in Finland. The clock tower and its four granite figures holding illuminated spheres have greeted travelers for over a century. They've watched the city grow up one train, one tram, and one red streak of light at a time. Although I'm technically off the clock, this one was worth the pause.

Some places don’t need color to feel alive. Cumberland Falls in black and white loses none of its power and gains something else entirely — a stillness that borders on unsettling, like the water’s been thundering through this gorge since long before anyone was here to see it.

Some ruins don’t need color. Just weight, silence, and a sky that’s done all the talking. This shot came from the roadside on a photography tour through southern Iceland. I didn’t go in, just pulled over between locations because it demanded to be photographed. An abandoned farmhouse, mountains standing guard, and I was chasing the kind of quiet that only empty buildings hold.

Urbex, or urban exploration, is the practice of documenting abandoned, forgotten, or off-limits structures that’ve been left to the elements. It’s part history, part curiosity, and it doesn’t always mean going inside. A shot from the road, sometimes, tells the whole story.

It's World Photography Day. This is your reminder to get the shot.

Buildings hold still. Flowers don't complain about the light. They're outstanding subjects: Patient, forgiving, always ready when you are.

But people don't hold still: They grow up, move away, change their minds, change their faces. The version of them you're looking at now won't exist in a year. Not really.

So take the photo you feel silly taking. The one that's not for anyone but you. The tantrum. The bad haircut. The laugh you'll swear you'll remember and won't.

You won't regret the photos you took. You'll regret the ones you didn't.

The picture remembers.
