Details Let’s photograph the last Friday Night Reds Fireworks from General James Taylor Park in Newport, Kentucky and then post our photos. Generally the fireworks start about 15 minutes after the end of the game, which can be between 2.5-3 hours after the start at 7:10 pm (so that puts the fireworks about 10:30 pm. However, you will want to get there early enough to pick out your spot and grab a parking spot.
Parking: you can try to get free parking in the General Taylor lot at the end beyond the riverboats. You can park on West 3rd Street just outside of the levee and walk up and over the levee to the park in a couple of minutes – this allows for a quick egress after the fireworks are over.

LATE PARKING UPDATE (6/18/19) The 2019 Air Show has implemented our alternate parking plan. All parking will be on paved lots for the 2019 show. Heavy rains have made the field parking normally used by the air show for spectator parking unusable. The show in cooperation with the Dayton International Airport and police agencies has developed an Alternate Parking plan for Saturday and Sunday’s show that will place all spectator vehicles on paved lots.
The former Emery/UPS Freight Facility located on Old Springfield Road north of the airport will be used as the Alternate Parking site. All spectator parking including General Admission, P-Lot and VIP will be directed to the Alternate Parking site. 60 large shuttle buses have been retained to conveniently shuttle spectators to and from the show grounds on an Express route inside the airport perimeter.
BEST AND QUICKEST ROUTE The quickest way to get to the Alternate Parking Site is to use Exit 32 (Airport Access Road) off I-70. Simply follow the digital signs that will direct guests west on W National Road, north on Dog Leg Road and east on Old Springfield Rd. Guests can also us Exit 64 (Northwoods Boulevard) off I-75 and follow signs but this will be a slower route due to Dixie Highway narrowing to a single-lane which backs up traffic similar to a lane closure on a major highway. Access will also be much quicker for spectators that come early or prior to 10:00 am. ARRIVE EARLY TO AVOID HEAVY TRAFFIC
Event Description – For those aficionados of all things aircraft this is the premier event in the region. Once again the Dayton Air Show will be two days, pick whether you want to attend Saturday or Sunday, or both. The USAF Thunderbirds will be the marquee show of the event this year.

Gallery 708 displays and sells a diverse selection of local art work, including paintings, metal sculptures, photography, mixed media, and jewelry.

I would like to extend to you a personal invitation to attend the reception. There is no charge and drinks and snacks will be provided. If you cannot attend the reception, feel free to visit the gallery during the next five weeks to see my featured display. The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday 12 to 6PM. I have several new pieces of work in the display.”
TOPIC: ABSTRACT, TEXTURES OR LINES. CRITIQUER: TOM CROCE In an abstract image the subject is usually only a portion of the image or idea. Viewers likely will only know the essence of the subject by what is implied. An abstract image draws a viewer inward by the interest, uniqueness or beauty of the image. Pattern photography uses repeating elements – shapes, tones, lines or color. A strong way to improve composition is through the use of lines. Also lines lead the viewer through the image. By affecting mood, lines add emotional content to images.

TOM CROCE BIO Tom Croce is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and currently reside in South Western, Ohio. He received his B. Ed. Degree from Miami University School of Fine Art in 1984, and in 1987 earned his Master of Architecture Degree from Washington University. Tom believes that photography begins with the act of seeing, it is the art of noticing and seeing the beauty in nature and capturing that moment. “Through my photography I reach deep inside myself and strive to create environmental portraits that evoke a sense of time and place, that will touch another, inspiring a love and desire to protect the beauty of our natural environment.” TOM’S WEBSITE: https://www.tomcrocephoto.com/ UPCOMING SEMINARS/ WORKSHOPS: https://www.tomcrocephoto.com/Workshops-Seminars
