People walk down Park Place near Baker University Center, under blooming Cherry Blossoms, on April 4, 2010.

Cherry blossoms stand in bloom near the Hocking River and the Convo on April 4, 2010. Many people gathered to take photos and see the flowers while they are in bloom. The flowers reach full bloom in about a week's time and the flowers will fall about a week later. If it rains, the blooms may fall faster.


Michael McAvoy, an enginer, takes photos of cherry blossom trees. He first learned of the trees while on a trip to Japan.

Winter is Fading

(Photo 1 of 2) Buildings stand at the Millfeild Mine disaster site near Millfield, Ohio on March 7 ,2010. The mine blew up on November 5, 1930 and many of the buildings still stand, in varying states of array. Many people died during the explosion and the site holds an eerie feel.

(Photo 2 of 2) These photos were made with a team of 4 people using all Nikon strobes, except one, in commander mode and a D3oo on bulb setting. The exposures were around 2-3 minutes long. Gels were used to light the 'insides of the buildings'.
