A Day of Giving Columbus Anonymous Helps the Homeless

This is a fun event and helps all people. This year Aaron VanDemark organized a great event. We not only helped the Homeless we inspired others who seen us giving. People came out of offices to see what was going on and, a few made donations and helped. I caught a little hell from the police who thought I was conducting interviews on the state house grounds. This was quickly solved without my knowledge a few good men went into the business offices and argued the point that I make no money off of the pictures I take. Its funny that those in charge inside the state house were more concerned with my camera than the people in need we came to help.

Army Spec.Joseph Riley,KIA,Laid to Rest 6/12/2014

  Army Spec.Joseph Riley ,27,was laid to rest today in Grove city Ohio. He was killed by a suicide bomber, on Nov. 24, in Kabul Afghanistan . I was honored to capture some of the moments today with my lens. I cant explain with words the feeling of a service like this. I did not want to capture the typical photos of the Honor Guard firing the volley,or the Trumpeter playing taps. If I had wished to capture those images I would have needed to fly, with all the traffic of the hundreds that attended. 
  I would like to dedicate this entry to Spec.Joseph Riley, and his entire Family. I hope the pictures I took today help's you all find peace, and comfort in the sacrifice made by your entire family. I provided a family member with my contact information if you would like to have them emailed to you.I thank you for the honor of allowing me to photograph this sad day for all of you .
