Fun at the Ohio State Reformatory

 

walt ghost.jpgghost 2.jpg
This is the Ohio State Reformatory and it is the place where they filmed the movie “the SHAW SHANK REDEMPTION”. It is said to be one of the most hunted places in the world. I shot these photos the last time I was there, and after this weeks NASCAR race at Mid Ohio, I”m going back for an ALL ACCESS TOUR . Now I don’t know if you believe in ghosts or not,( I get Orbs , Ecto- plasm and Apparitions in my photos all the time and to me their a Damn Nuisance), but to others the photos should be” Something to See”.

P.S. Do you see any Ghost in the photos ???

Indy Car the American Dream

When it comes to the All American Dream Nothing say’s America like Beauty Power and Speed. Indy Car is all that and more. These Cars scare me . They are a mix of Race cars and Star ships. Thier aerodynamics would allow them to run upside down yet the drivers like some kind of Jedi Nights push them to their limit’s. All said this is the top shelf of American auto Racing. here at the Mid Ohio Sports Car Cours they are put to the Test on a 5 mile road course that Challenges the cars and drivers like no where else in the world. Its the AMERICAN Dream on wheels = INDY

Photographer Walt Miller on Stopping Poaching

1WW.jpg

While on safari in Tanzania to photograph these beautiful animals, I was overcome at how sociable that they are. Not just with other animals ,but also with human beings. (That’s my camp in the background on the left ) All the while, there is a air of sadness, just knowing that if it weren’t for places like this, these animals would be wiped out.

The long term answer is in our hands . WE must change the way WE think about the use of Ivory. For as long as it is Acceptable for Ivory to be a Fashion item .

We must Stop the Demand for Ivory Trinkets and the Poachers will stop. The Government of Tanzania has come down HARD on Traffickers but they need our help. Once you look into an Elephants eyes …How can you look away and not stop the killing? Walt Miller
