Cleveland photographer. Lover music and theme parks. I will always be traveling and awaiting the next adventure. The open road is calling!

Ever since I first saw the lights on the trains for Siren’s Curse during Winter Chill Out earlier this year, I’ve envisioned so many long exposure photos in my head. I was able to bring some of my ideas to life last night as well as get another ride in!

@Hersheypark Ruthless and I love it!

Cedar Points brand new Barrels & Bites event is coming up soon! I was planning to save this photo to share as it got closer to June 5th when it begins but it was too good not to post. The new displays around the park are very well put together!

A live glass blowing demonstration by Tylan at Cedar Point! One of Tuesday’s projects was this pink flamingo! 🦩

It’s good to be back! Our first ride of the season was on TT2! Crowd levels were very light and the rain held off! Steel Vengeance was about a 30 min wait throughout most of the day too!

@Kerneycation @cedarpoint I’ll be on my way soon 🤣

Accessibility was also another HUGE plus at Bryce Canyon. Many of the pull offs and overlooks were right on the side of the road making it very easy to see everything. There were some stairs in some parts but anyone can visit Bryce and expect to see the beautiful sights!

[OBV Photography @Obv2003]

Bryce Canyon was probably my favorite National Park out of the 11 we checked out on this trip. The roadway through the park is relatively short located on the eastern portion of the canyon allowing you to face into all of the orange and white rocks.

@FUNFoodBlog There will be very bad repercussions should someone remover her from her resting place…🤣

@Amusement_Buzz @TonyClarkCP Wow you got one! The optical illusion is so fun!

[OBV Photography @Obv2003]

Happy opening day @cedarpoint! The best unofficial holiday of the year. I won’t be able to make it today but the weather looks perfect! See you on Tuesday! 🎢

[OBV Photography @Obv2003]

Happy birthday @TonyClarkCP! Thank you for everything you do for the parks and the opportunities you’ve given me! 🥳🎉🎢

As someone who photographs architecture, it doesn’t get much better than this. We have modern builds that crumble and fall to the ground and somehow mesa Verde’s famous cliff dwellings are still here!

Inside the Monument Valley Visitor Center and a peak at the rooms just outside The View Hotel. Can you imagine staying the night here? 🏜️

It wouldn’t be an official celebration for a new ride without a cake now would it? These are some of the new food items that can be found around Kings Island this season! Look at those music notes on and the glowing eyes! 🥹

Some sepia tones inside Phantom Theater: Opening NightMARE. It’s been quite a long time since the original Theater existed at @KingsIslandPR so I wanted to color edit these based not on how it looks, but how it feels. The experience is very retro as you travel from room to room!

[OBV Photography @Obv2003]

The first photo shows Drew Hunter, the Vice President of Creative Design for @SallyDarkRides under the main entrance to Phantom Theater: Opening NightMARE. Huge shoutout to Kings Island and Tony Clark for inviting me out to be one of the first to it for a spin! @KingsIslandPR

After leaving my house at 12:30am I made it to Kings Island right as the gates opened for today’s media event! After riding several times and taking a seemingly endless amount of photos, I ended up leaving around 11:30am, driving the 4 hours back, and have arrived safely home!
