Back from Chicago & Brief Hiatus (Girl & the Goat)

Sorry, to those that follow my followings, but when live gets mundane, my photography get a little uninspired. My work at Boca restaurant is tough and wonderfully motivational for my photography. When I first started shooting pictures, Boca was there to stalk and develop my picture awareness and imagination to push the boundaries of what I call my style. Then, they invited me on a trip to eat (avec, Girl & the Goat, Lula) and taste wine (Websters Wine Bar and a Kermit Lynch portfolio, what!?!) in Chicago. I wasn’t about to leave my camera, but, seeing life in another city, helped me see the life of Cincinnati that I wasn’t looking for. Look forward for more. Diversifying my blog, so more will be popping up soon. -W
