Presque Isle

Today Presque Isle is used as a Pennsylvania state park, Presque Isle State Park, that is open to the public for a wide variety of recreation. The peninsula became a state park in 1921, and since then large amounts of money have been spent to make visiting the park a better and more pleasant experience. Three years after becoming a park the project of lying paved roads around the park began. Today the road network creates a 13-mile loop around the outer edge of peninsula. Before the roads were built the only visitor to the park were primarily boaters. Many years later the roads were destroyed by storms, and they were rebuilt further away from the shore. The peninsula has a great environment for exercising. In 1984, a multi-purpose blacktop trail was built for bike riding, running, and inline skating. In 1992, 55 break walls were constructed off the shore to slow down the waves thus slowing down the amount erosion that would take place on beaches. These break walls save the park over a million dollars a year that would be spent on replenishing sand on the beaches.
Above is the slidshow that I made on my trip to Presque Isle in Erie, PA. On the adventure i took some very good shots, trying to explain the state park of Preque Isle as best as I could. I captured some good pictures of Perry Monument, picnic pavillions, light houses, and nature trails. The geese that were all around provided some great action shots. My girlfriend came along with her dog and I included the dog is some photographs as well. Overall, the trip was very scenic and fun. Enjoy!

Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is the 2nd and newest revision or generation of web-site design. Social networking sits, wikis, and blogs are just a few newly added aspects in Web 2.0. It provides an exploitation of Communication, new generation of technologies, its own platform, and business successes everywhere.
Web 2.0 provides many positive things for businesses as well as the overall society as well. Web 2.0 has connected many people and provides opportunities to the world. I believe that Web 2.0 is our future and that we need to keep using it as much as possible, without overusing it.

Urban Decay Photos
These are my photos that i took over the weekend of old run-down decaying buildings, etc. I figured everyone would go right to State St. in Erie, PA and take the typical rusty, crumbled, and out of date buildings, but i took a different approach to it. I decided to take photographs in Wesleyville and Harborcreek to be different. These are what i came up with!

Week 1 Post

Over break I had a very exciting experience. All my teammates and friends from our State Championship basketball team in highschool got together and played a few basketball pick up games. Memories of that 2007 season were all brought up and it was just a good time getting together with the guys. During that season we had an undefeated record of 33-0 and conquered the state title in February of that year. That adventure and journey will never be forgotten, and will stick with me throughout my life.
