Had to make a pitstop at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati on my way back from the NCAA track regionals in Lexington. I visited the museum last year, but since the building only holds a *third* of the owner’s collection, there’s always something new to see!

As it turns out, they had some original sketches on display from the Peskin Sign Company in YOUNGSTOWN! Peskin went out of business in 2018 following the retirement of ownership, but seeing a piece of home while on the road was a treat. I’ve talked on here before about my Nana and how she worked at Arby’s corporate during their early years, so seeing those neon 10-gallon hats always brings a smile to my face. Peskin was still manufacturing signs for Arby’s well into the 2010s! Loved the Sparkle sketch too! The former location on South Ave still had that signage until they closed a few years ago.

If you’re ever traveling through Cincinnati, this is a MUST SEE! 🌃

Had an extremely fun three days down at the NCAA East Regional! Already looking forward to a return trip in a few years. Seeing some of the best in the nation compete is always amazing to take in! (For )

Summer star trails over Stambaugh; 300 second exposure.

Really had some fun trying to find the right exposure and time, will definitely try this again for a longer take. I absolutely love how you can see the Earth’s rotational direction by the way the stars are “trailing”

In the second image, taken earlier on during a 30 second exposure, Jupiter (bottom middle) is visible between the light poles with two stars that form GEMINI (Pollux and Castor) above it! 💫🌟🌎

20 of my favorite photos of the ‘Dons from three days of Horizon League action. Choosing a slideshow after firing off 20,000+ exposures over a 72 hour period is tricky, but some nice weather helped create some picturesque frames! (For )
