Reached my limit on image posting!

I must have reached my 300MB limit on image posting. Too bad because I have several more images of Corey I'd like to share with everyone.

If anyone is interested I would be willing to sell photo Cd's of Corey's captured images. They would be full size and printable of course. Just to let you know there are no nudes or any images that are illegal.

Corey Hooters Orange

Here we go with the orange again. This time a Hooters shirt!

Corey Three at BHG at Fourteen

These three captured moments of Corey's youth were taken at BHG (Black Hand Gorge) when he was fourteen years old.


Corey Christmas Yellow

Corey at my place wearing an outfit I bought for him one Christmas.

Corey Old House

Corey and I stopped at this old house and took several shots. We were on our way back from a movie and cruisin with the tunes, something we often did.

Corey White

Corey enjoyed wearing these shirts and I think he looked good in them!

Corey in Yellow Shirt

Yellow and orange were two of Corey's favorite colors in those days. The shirt in these two images I found for a bargain. Corey loved it and of course posed in it for me.

Corey Wrestler

Here's two captured moments with Corey wearing his wrestling outfit. I watched him perform more than a few times and he was very good at it!

Corey Blue Serious

Corey giving me a serious look in his blue tank top.

Corey Orange Shirt

Corey posing in his orange shirt shortly after getting his hair styled.

Corey Wife Beater

Corey used to call the shirt he's wearing "Wife Beaters" and I'm not sure exactly how that got started but he always looked good in them as he does in this image captured at Black Hand Gorge.

Corey Dress Shirt

I've always loved this shot of Corey in his dress shirt. His eyes seem so piercing yet trusting!

Corey at Dawes

I remember it was around Easter time when Corey, his mother and two brothers and I set off on a photo shoot at Dawes Woods. In this captured moment Corey was acting silly. The image was actually cropped from a larger image in which his brothers and mother were also present. Silly or not I thought it was a cute shot.

Corey Three More at BHG

All three of these images were also taken at Black Hand Gorge State Park. It was always such a pleasure shooting Corey. He was very easy to work with and seemed to have a natural ability which made for excellent captured moments.


Corey Photoshopped BHG

This image was captured using my old 35mm camera as well. It was recently scanned and Photoshopped to get the end result.

Corey Shoulder BHG


Corey looking over his shoulder in a pose while at Black Hand Gorge.

Corey Resting BHG

Taking a break or posing for yet another captured moment at Black Hand Gorge State Park. I believe this image was captured using my old 35mm camera. I have since given all my 35mm equipment to my young nephew who is a very talented young man as well. I have seen his work and I am impressed to say the least.

Corey Football

Corey in his football gear. I didn't take this photo. I believe his Mother did.

Corey Trophy

First place in his weight class for the State of Ohio which I believe was 122 lbs. at the time. Well done my boy!

Corey Tats Pierced

This is an image of Corey shortly before he left for Florida. He had just recently gotten into the tats and piercings. Very attractive young man!

Corey Cookie Man

I love to bake and often made sweets for when Corey came to stay. Sometimes I made them while he was there and was often talked into making extra so he could share with his classmates. I decided that Corey should learn to make cookies himself as a life experience he could carry with him always. So began the cookie baking classes, Corey being my number one student. He was actually a very fast learner and his end result was very tasty, as his classmates would agree. At first they didn't believe he made them himself so I decided to capture his work in progress and printed out photos to share with them as well as a fresh batch of cookies for their enjoyment.

Corey Serious

Corey and I were always trying for different looks in our photo sessions and this one was no exception. My only regret was not having the camera and lighting equipment I have now when we first started capturing Corey's moments in time. We don't think we did too bad though considering the backdrops were nothing more than yards of material purchased at the local Walmart and the lighting an old light bar on a tripod that was previously owned by my grand parents used with and old 8mm movie camera.

Corey Road Trip Van

These three images were captured during an all day road trip. We got an early start, stopping at Black Hand Gorge for a couple of hours of hiking and shooting pictures, then we ventured on to Zanesville to indulge in some pizza at Pizza Hut. And if I'm not mistaken we took in a movie as well at the local cheap seats theatre. Corey's friend Nate was along for the trip as well.


Corey Deserted Home

On our way back from seeing a movie Corey and I spotted an old deserted home. We thought it would be a different backdrop for capturing several images so we indulged ourselves.

Corey Blue Tank Top

Corey very patiently posing for yet another session. Note the tat on his arm.

Corey Older

This image was captured when Corey was a little older. If I'm not mistaken he's 16 years old and had his learners permit. It was not long after this image was captured that he moved away to Florida and I wasn't able to see him for over two years. I was of course very sad and heartbroken. My best bud in the whole world was over 1200 miles away and I missed him dearly!

Corey BHG

Corey and I visited Black Hand Gorge on more than a few occasions. It's so peaceful and beautiful there and a perfect backdrop for capturing moments in time!

Corey New Yorker

Corey riding shotgun as always in my New Yorker. We're more than likely getting ready to go see a movie, shop or just cruise and listen to tunes. I miss those good times we shared.

Corey BHG Bridge

Corey on a bridge at Black Hand Gorge Park taken with old Sony at low resolution and Photoshopped.

Corey Artisic

Another image of my bud Corey that I Photoshopped.

Corey School Photo

This image of Corey taken by a "School Photographer" has been Photoshopped by me because the original photo had Corey holding a fishing pole while in his suit. I'm not sure what kind of drugs the school "Photographer" was on but who in their right mind would have the subject holding a fishing pole while wearing a suit? I don't know of anyone who goes fishing in a suit! This corrected image reflects one of my early attempts at using my Adobe Photoshop program.

CoreyPhotoshoppedBHG

This image was taken at Black Hand Gorge State Park using my old Sony. The resolution was set very low and has been Photoshopped.

CoreyCedarPoint


Corey at twelve standing in line at Cedar Point. It was mid-May and rather chilly and wet but we had a grand time despite the weather.

Corey Black and White

It was always such a pleasure shooting Corey. He was and continues to be a young man with character!

More Corey At The Gorge

Corey is like fourteen in these images. How quickly they grow up!

Corey Smile

Relaxing for a few moments before continuing on our trek through the woods. It was a beautiful late Spring day. I couldn't think of a better way to spend it than with my good bud Corey.

Corey Backpacking

Corey taking a break after hiking a ways on the trails.

What Is A Friend?

What is a friend?
Someone to turn to, Someone who cares,
Someone you can trust, Someone who
knows you, Someone who would fight for you, Someone
who loves you for who you are, Someone who
believes in you, Someone who is a friend!

Never Will I Forget You

Never will you leave my mind.
Never will I forget the good times.
Never will I forget the foolish little fights.
Never will I forget the quiet times together.
Never will I forget the laughter we shared.
Never will I forget the love.
Never will I forget you.
Never!!
