I thought I would pop in for just a second to post some pictures from a walk this afternoon in the Sulphur Springs area of the South Chagrin Reservation.

I found this image on my cell’s memory card. It’s from very early Thanksgiving morning 2009 as I made my way to the local grocer. I recall it being a much appreciated moment of peace and calm.

As I work my way into spring I find the need to further minimize my online presence and footprint. There is so much going on in my life right now that I simply don’t have the time, energy or inclination to juggle numerous sites and responsibilities. Nearly all of the previously associated domain names are now forwarded to this blog. I’ve updated the links page to reflect these very recent changes. You can still find me on Twitter, infrequently on Facebook and, one of these days, I will actually get my YouTube music channel going. The Solitary Zen site and blog are still live and I hope to contribute more to those endeavors as my book research and writing progress. Other than that, the action is all right here.

I am in the process of planning a few writing and photography road trips for the spring and summer. If you have suggestions about people and places of interest, I encourage you to drop me a line. Due to work commitments, I am looking for things within about a four to six hour drive from the Akron/Kent area of Ohio. Then again, I might just be moved to venture a little further if the timing is right. (I do have four weeks vacation remaining this year…)

A foggy, damp start to the work week here in Ohio, but the sun and warmer temperatures are expected to return tomorrow and last through the long weekend. I’ve got a lot of work to get accomplish during the “break” and I hope to have new content updates in the days and weeks ahead.

Cheers!

I’m always curious about the stories behind abandoned houses. This one is in a relatively affluent area and has been in constant decay for many years. I’ve meant to capture an image of it for a long time.

Photography by James Curtis Smith

Just a little “starter post” for my photography. You may have seen this image before. It was taken a few years ago at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio.
