I just picked up the Shortstache Filter (a polarizer and 1/2 black mist filter) by PolarPro to use at this summer’s Concours d’Elegance in Cincinnati (a vintage and exotic car show), but I was curious to see how it might perform for macro photography, too.

For my birthday, I treated myself to a self-guided tour of the Ohio State Reformatory, the filming site of The Shawshank Redemption.

I was very fortunate to have been able to spend last week working in Brussels. Each day was filled with new experiences (almost to the point of being overwhelming) and tons of walking and exploring.
