Wade Lagoon in University Circle, the cultural epicenter of Cleveland, was the first location I ever fell in love with shooting with my camera, I had to return, time and time again. I started this series when I was a student by day and server by night. I was working in a great restaurant in Little Italy called Salvatore's. I fell in love with the neighborhood, the old world feel and the friendly people prompted me to move to the neighborhood. I found the neighborhood to be rich in creativity, diverse in ethnicity and have such a wide variety of subject matter. I lived here until 2004 when I moved to Bratenahl to live on the farm of the Gwinn Estate the home of William Mather the 50 year head of The Cleveland Cliffs Company. Time passed, life taught me many lessons, and now I have returned to Little Italy. The wheel turns and again have a new opportunity to have Wade Lagoon at my doorstep again, only 4 blocks from my portrait studio and gallery. "Wade Lagoon Landscape" the first image in this gallery, is the initial installment of the next generation of images that I will create in this amazing culture center, Wade Lagoon, one heck of an amazing place to go unwind, relax and put yourself in another time. Fine Art Giclée prints are available by contacting us or stopping in the gallery at 2025 Random Road, Cleveland Ohio.
