I have Amber to thank for a fine evening underneath the stars in Kokomo —
cooking hotdogs over a fire, cold beer and a couple rounds of Euchre for good measure.
(Mental note: learn how to photograph the night sky better)

This has been the summer of mild temperatures and a solid amount of rain,
sometimes torrential, as evidenced by our broken patio gutter that could use an endcap and…
heck, it just needs replaced.

This is where I lay down a big sheet of white paper on the garage floor and shoot new stuff for our store.
We’ve been selling this tee at festivals this summer with great response. Finally I got ‘em all online.

The biking is still fun and we keep finding new places to explore.
Dayton is connected to an excellent network of biking trails.
On this day we attempted to bike along the river by the Carillon Park, but
bridge construction kept messing with the flow.
So we packed up and looped around the RiverScape park downtown.
Perfect weather. More photos [...]

Perfect weather to enjoy the parade. I posted a good handful of photos over in this special Lake Festival Album.

The evening sky, looking through the electric wires that power Dayton buses.

This ice cream stand cast an eerie glow. I was enamored.
Though I tried to get a clean shot, the amount of people was a good thing.

At this point in the evening, everyone boarded the space ship, fueled by black and tans on tap.

So far? The biking thing is awesome.
We have lots of bike trails in the area and tons more in reasonable radius.
I’m learning that riding a bike is not a good mouth breathing exercise.
Bugs.
Totally worth it though.

Went up the street to hear folks workshop some new music.
A pretty organic process was in place, with experiments happening
with knobs and notes scribbled on legal pads.

A publication needed photos of our transit map shirt.
This was the only time I picked up the camera that day, but I did like
how the light really brought out the texture of the shirt and ink.

The weather has been so nice all summer, I feel ashamed that I haven’t been using my bike.
I remedied the broken handlebars and flat tires yesterday, and hooked up the rack to the car for extra measure.
Dan got the fever after a few loops around the block and bought himself a sweet ride today.
To celebrate [...]
