The Flying Pig Marathon was awesome.

"The Marathon also launched its social media effort last
year and has been utilizing Twitter and Youtube to engage runners and
create on-line buzz. On Race Day, Sunday, May 3, the "Flying Pig
Marathon" was the #1 key word search on Google, out ranking Jack Kemp,
Pittsburgh Marathon, and Swine Flu among others."

Great article on Cleveland.com
about Cincinnati! I've never heard the term "Cincinnati caviar" to
refer to goetta, but I like it. I'm going to start using it.

And, as you probably know by now, VH-1's Top Twenty Video Countdown will be filming in and around Cincinnati for the show to air on September 13. I must set my DVR!

The "Capture Cincinnati" book was unveiled Thursday night at Joseph-Beth Books in Rookwood Pavilion. The store was packed. I picked up my copy of the book and, yay, this picture I submitted of my niece is in it. On page 16. (Yet it didn't win any prizes. Hmph.) It is a great picture, I must say, although that is due mostly to the subject rather than to the photographer. But we'll take it!
I've already autographed the photo in one book - my friend Karen Deime. I'll even autograph your copy FOR FREE if you ask nicely.
When I created my account to submit my photos, there was a place to enter "your website." What the heck, I put the address of my blog in there. I didn't realize that it was intended for professionals who have websites showcasing their photos. So in the back of the book where everyone who submitted a picture is listed, there is a separate listing of the photographers who provided websites. And that is where my name, and "website" is listed. With the professionals. So I guess I'd better start posting more pictures here! I'll put a link to my Flickr site, but even that is mostly just snaps of friends at random events. I'll have to put more pictures on there too.
