Collaboration was inevitable. Two talented painters who verged on similar styles in a town that bubbles with creative juices would no doubt cross swords either in peace or conflict one of these days, and that is what Martin Borchers and Zane Reichert have done.

The 2015 Autumn Street Fair pulled a substantial amount of people from out of town to enjoy a variety of crafts, food, and music throughout the day. Clear skies and cool temperatures no doubt contributed to the success of the event, which has been a tradition in town for quite some time.

Despite a smaller crowd and rainy skies, the AACW Blues, Jazz, and Gospel Fest went ahead this past weekend. There were workshops during the day and performances and food throughout the evening. The rain and cold cut the numbers of attendees down but some fans stuck it out for what proved to be solid musical performances and a continuation of an important tradition in Yellow Springs.

The fifth annual Cyclops Festival was a success; drawing artists, musicians, craftspeople, and food vendors from all around to showcase their merchandise and talents. Local and non-local festival attendees enjoyed DJs, music, handcrafted wares, sizzling provisions and local beer, all on a beautiful fall day.

The namesake of our town has always been a beautiful landmark and popular pull for out-of-towners. Here are a few images that I hope will represent its full beauty.

The Summer Tour Series gets under way this weekend in Springfield and finishes in August with an architectural investigation of Antioch College.

Here are some images of the parks and places of leisure around town. It is likely that I will add another set in the future.

In honor of Earth Week, I have captured some images of the vibrant forest and earthen terrain of the Glen. I hope these images evoke a sense of power and give an impression of the reverence I have for the natural spaces in our area.
