Are you shooting with a lensbaby?

Cool shots and I'm jealous you saw John Prine--I need to pick up his
new album.

I used to spend a lot of time in Cincy, including Alexandria, KY as well (I had a business that sold equipment to the Hillshire Farm plant) and I always look forward to seeing your cityscapes.

These ones are really good. I don't remember going to the Rock Bottom Brewery though.

Thanks AJ
It's fun to shoot downtown with all those cool brick buildings
And the light changes all the time because of all the tall skyscrapers
Always something different

Thanks

Yes most were shot useing the lensbaby
Actually I got it stuck on the 20d took me a long time to get it off and I ddn't want to stop shooting.
But it is a fun lens to have stuck on your camera

Anyone else have this problem ?

John Prine was great had a good time
He has changed the way he is playing some of his songs
I guess due to his throat trouble
I play a lot of his songs in a couple of local pubs (I kinda watch for this stuff)
We were all listing to his new cd before the concert it's great

Thanks for the comments

Great shots. Need a LensBaby and a 10-22, then life would be non-stop fun.

Love John Prine. Cool you got to see him.

He and John Hiatt are high on my list of musicians that I haven't seen, but wanna.

John is great been listening to him for a very long time
He has a big following here in this area
I have seen him 4 or 5 times now ..never get tired hearing him
And he's a Kentucky boy too

They also have the new version of the Lensbaby out too
I also going to get the 10-22 real soon (just need a little overtime)

Thanks
