Columbus RetroMetro: “The CUBE is coming to Downtown Gay and High” the Columbus Underground:
A very exciting new urban infill project is coming to a very deserving corner of downtown Columbus. The very under utilized Modern Finance Building, located at the southeast corner of Gay and High, was recently auctioned off back in September of this year, for a whooping 80 dollars per square foot.
I’m sure I will not be the only person checking on the future progress of this development. I wonder where the name “The Cube” originated from.

A really cool looking competitor to Googles search engine.
Keyboardr.com provides users with a very fast and accurate search engine that’s even more - if that’s even possible - minimal than Googles own search.

Well, it’s that time of the year again. The time of the year where we all congregate with our friends, families, or both, in order to celebrate the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving.
This year was no different than the past, in that, my sibs and I found ourselves over at mom’s pitching in to help set the stage for the perfect family feast. Peedie elected to spend this holiday celebration with her father, which was fine considering she’s spent the last two Thanksgiving holiday with my family.
My task of the day was mac and cheese. After selecting an simple recipe from one of mom’s several cookbooks I was off to the races. Being that I try to eat as consciously as possible I amended the recipe which, called for some pretty basic ingredients, to include a more organic list of items. My Brother, who is diametrically opposed to eating organic / holistically meet me with a bit of opposition as I added things like rbg growth hormone free sharp white cheddar, Horizon milk, and organic butter. For the shells, I elected to incorporate Annie’s brand pasta which, is one of our favorites.
Merrari swept the porch and took out the trash while Quanus helped by cleaning the steps and organizing the table for the meal. Mom handled the lion-share of cooking, preparing the turkey, potato salad, sweet potato pies, yams, greens, and dressing.
Merrari’s friend Laura chose to spend the holiday with us this year and her sense of humor was a great addition to, what could be interpreted as, an already satyrical, joke laden Thanksgiving dinner.
Here are some images taken while preparing the meal. The final shot of the mac and cheese was taken w/ my phone as I was too lazy full to properly focus using the AF points.

I’ve always loved portraits. Something about the human face that I find amazingly captivating. Whether it’s a person beaming a genuine smile, or a shy kid blinking for the camera, I think portraits share something deeply intimate about a person.
These images were taken while I was assisting a professional photographer by the name of Chantal Stone. Chantal is a lifestyle and wedding photographer located here in and Columbus and is for hire. Her style is uniquely her, and her personality is lively, open, and warm. I was able to assist her on another wedding which, I will post more from soon!
