2012 OUP Photography Tour Begins Part IV!! The Final Photo Update… REHOBOTH BEACH!!!!

Posted on by

As always, it was a very sad moment walking on the beach for the last time on this trip.  I love the beach.  Never met a beach I don’t like… cannot wait until my next beach trip, hopefully sooner than later.

After a while of enjoying the beach & town we left Rehoboth Beach.  Trust me, it won’t be too long until we go back… even in the Winter, loved that town.  We ended up going to Dover, Delaware and the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.  GREAT place!  My girlfriend and I often go to Hollywood Casino in more local Grantville, PA, so for us this was a little upgrade of sorts (although we LOVE Hollywood Casino!), and a new experience.  Also can’t wait to go back there! (and I believe we have some complimentary stays on the way in the mail!)

After a good time in the casino, probably about a 4 or 5 hour visit, it was time for the drive home.  Only about a four hour drive or so to our home, so it is really not too bad.  Nothing I typically don’t come close to doing every week on the road anyway.  Pretty beautiful sunset on the way home… So folks, that is pretty much it.  I still have a good amount of video I took while on this trip, which you will eventually see right here in this blog, but I am in the meanwhile working on a secret project of sorts.  I can’t talk too much about it now, but I will in the future.

I will be doing a lot more filming/traveling/photography, etc… so stay tuned to this blog, as well as OUnitProductions.com… thanks so much!

Where would you like to see the OUP Photography Tour go?  What did you like about this past trip?  What didn’t you enjoy so much?  Which shot was your favorite?  Or simply, how can I help YOU?

2012 OUP Photography Tour BEGINS! Rehoboth Beach! Part III

Posted on by

Sunday morning started off feeling VERY sick.  Simple as that.  You will, I’m sure, later see some video with proof of such a fact.  Regardless, a few hours later, and some coffee thanks to the hotel’s always-welcome-when-traveling in-room coffee maker, it was on!  It shows with some of my first views of Rehoboth Beach for the day…

The hotel had a “viewing roof” of sorts, but when we walked upstairs the door was locked.  I’m not quite sure why, and I didn’t ask.  Something else small that sort of confused me about the hotel.  Regardless, it had a beautiful view!

After checking out we loaded up our car, and began walking around the area again.  Looked at the beach, stopped at a few stores, and eventually realized that we were both starving, still sort of hungover, and needed to find a place to eat.  This came with Sammy’s Kitchen.  I didn’t really take any photos there, and I wish I would have, but pretty decent food.  It was pretty busy, with a wait when we arrived, which didn’t bother me too much.

The service was sort of slow, but I can understand why since they only had basically one waitress running the entire restaurant.  I am assuming someone called off?  I overheard somebody saying that they didn’t realize it was going to be that busy, but only having one waitress doesn’t seem smart, right?  Anyway, pretty good food, I had a typical breakfast dinner (eggs, toast, hash browns, etc…) and it was as-said typical, and just sort of average.  Good, but average.

After eating we did some more shopping, walked around, and got ready to head to the beach one last time!

I’ll be back before the weekend with Part IV, the FINAL photo update of this fun little journey…. more beach shots to come! ;)

2012 OUP Photography Tour Begins, Part II

After leaving Dogfish Head, we took our time walking back towards our hotel, taking in the sights and sounds of Rehoboth Beach.  We made sure to take the time to snap a few pictures along the way!

After relaxing in the hotel a while, and taking a few more pictures, we decided that we were in a beach town, so why not do what we usually do in such a case… have more drinks!  Earlier in the day we noticed this little pizza place/bar called Nicola Pizza.  We decided to walk there and have a few drinks, and I’m glad that we did!

Honestly, I had a blast there, but really don’t remember too much afterwards besides passing out early in my bed listening to the ocean.  I remember having two Dogfish Head beers, a jello shot, and a mixed drink called the “Mild Concussion.”  If you’re ever at Nicola Pizza, only order this drink if you’re feeling really daring.  Either the bartender really hooked us up, or it is a drink basically FILLED with rum and other odds and ends… yeah, don’t remember too much after that. Oh yeah, and they also have all-day-$3 Sex on the Beaches which my girlfriend Brandi too advantage of… can’t go wrong with that!

As I already said, upon leaving Nicola Pizza the night was pretty much a wrap.  We stumbled back to our hotel (LOL), my girlfriend talked on the phone/watched TV a while, and I passed out….. The next morning was sort of rough, and we’ll get to that in the next update coming later this week!

OUP Photography Tour Still Alive and Kicking! :)

Hey guys, how’s it going?  As you may have noticed, I was originally planning on going to Sandusky, Ohio this weekend and their famed Cedar Point amusement park.  Truth be told, I really just have a lot on my plate right now.  My business has been taking off recently, and with that comes an increased amount of work and dedication.

I’m always on the road it seems, but instead of simply going to shoot photography and explore, I am busy finding very unique and awesome antiques to stock my various retail outlets both online and in the “real World.”  I am going to try and share more of those travels right here in this Blog (I’m trying, don’t hold me to it too much! LOL.  If you’d like to try shoot me off an Email at brent@ounitproductions.com).

Nonetheless, the OUP Photography Tour will continue in various forms as I reach certain goals I have set for myself, and my business reaches a level that I am able to automate a bit more.  Right now it’s mostly just me on all aspects going HARD (which, I am sort of enjoying..).  I promise to check back with some updates soon!

Thanks!
