Posted September 11, 200816 yr Today I received my complimentary copy of "Cincinnati: Bridges to the Future" where my photo was selected for the cover. My photo of the Freedom Center was also featured on page 20. Many local Cincinnati photographers are featured in this book. You can purchase the book at: Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Cincinnati-Bridges-Future-Kevin-Eigelbach/dp/1882933885/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221099626&sr=8-1 Target.com http://www.target.com/Cincinnati-Bridges-Future-Kevin-Eigelbach/dp/1882933885 Summary: Cincinnati: Bridges to the Future: Cincinnati has an old history of coming up with new things. In more than 200 years of life straddling the Ohio River where Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana meet, this former center of the nation s meatpacking industry, the nation's first boomtown, has created a long list of firsts. In the arts: first orchestra broadcast to a national audience, first major American museum designed by a woman, the country's oldest professional astronomical observatory, and the oldest continuous choral music festival in the Western Hemisphere. In business, innovations from the majestic to the mundane: the creation of the country's first jet engine, the first all-vegetable shortening, and the first disposable diaper. Cincinnati: Bridges to the Future chronicles these firsts and near-firsts, while describing a city that remains a transportation and industrial crossroads for the nation. The city s many attractions include more than 50 officially recognized neighborhoods, which give it a small-town feel with the amenities of a major metropolitan area. Those amenities include the nation's second-oldest zoo, with the nation's first zoo building devoted entirely to insects; world-class museums, such as the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art; and the Krohn Conservatory, one of the nation s largest public greenhouses. If that s not enough, visitors can cross into northern Kentucky, on a bridge designed by the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, and take in the nightlife at Newport on the Levee. Next door in Covington, they can see one of the more recent additions to the local skyline, the Ascent at Roebling's Bridge, with its swirling roof designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. When the Great American Insurance Building at Queen City Square is completed, its prominent tiara will make it one of the Midwest's most distinctive buildings, and at 40 stories it will be one of the city s tallest. But who knows how long Cincinnatians will let that record stand? In Cincinnati, something new arises every day.

September 11, 200816 yr Very nice! I'll look forward to purchasing this book and diving into it soon!
September 12, 200816 yr Damn! This is awesome! Seriously ... you deserve props for the effort and time you put into your photography! Have you thought about doing this full-time?
September 12, 200816 yr Thanks for the kind words by everyone. It is greatly appreciated. Have you thought about doing this full-time? I think many of us think about it but I probably wouldn't do it without being hired as a salary employee. Freelance at this time is great for a second job. It helps cover the cost of my equipment but I make good money with my day job in the IT profession so it would take a serious offer for me to walk away from that.
