Special Delivery
I was delighted when the mail arrived yesterday. Both CBC and Lake Erie Living magazines arrived on my doorstep on the same day AND both featured my photography on their covers.
Here I am in a display at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History on the day I photographed CEO Evalyn Gates for CBC’s cover photo. No jokes, please!
Caught up in Walleye Madness
How in the world do you explain a New Year’s Eve event in which a big fish is dropped from a crane at the stroke of midnight? I suppose quirky comes to mind first.
While millions of eyeballs are tuned in to watch a sparkly ball of light descend on a pole in New York’s Times Square, there’s something very fishy going on in Port Clinton, Ohio. However, it’s perfectly acceptable in this small lakeside town that is known as the “Walleye Capital of the World.”
Since its start in 1996, Walleye Madness has grown in popularity as word gets out about its existence. In fact, the travel website TravelAdvisor.com ranked the event as one of America’s Top 10 Quirkiest New Year’s Eve Events for 2010.
After three years working for Lake Erie Living magazine, I felt it was finally time to see what makes Walleye Madness so alluring.
