HELLO EVERYONE! The OUP Photography Tour IS BACK & In a MAJOR WAY!

Posted on by

EDIT_1

I hope you are all doing GREAT!  It’s funny that this is actually the first post I’ve put up here on this blog in 2013, while I’ve actually posted EVERY SINGLE DAY of 2013 over on BrentOtt.com.  That’s about to change however, and in a big way.  I’ve been going through the LOADS of pictures I’ve took on my trips over the years, some which I’ve never released.  I’ve also been editing some of them in various ways, and I’m going to start sharing right here, hopefully quite often!  ENJOY!

We’re starting with this shot, which was taken back in Outer Banks, North Carolina in June of 2010.  Absolutely LOVED it there, and can’t wait to get back!

I also can’t wait until the 2013 OUP Photography Tour kicks off this JULY!

Been Busy ON-THE-ROAD!: Favorite Shot of Recent Trip to Ocean City!

Posted on by

Had a blast in Ocean City, MD, Dover, DE,  and Rehoboth Beach, DE this past weekend. Even rolled through Dewey Beach, DE briefly. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… I absolutely LOVE being on the road.

I’ll have some more updates, and a pretty big announcement or two in the coming days…. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the Spring! :)

Last Day of November 2010′s “O.U.Picking Tour!”

Posted on by

Sorry for being a day late with this update, but when I finally got back home last night around 11 PM, I was dead tired.  It was all that I could really do to unload my car, and I’ve still yet to unpack.  Anyway, yesterday started off extremely early.  After going to bed around 11 PM on Saturday, I woke up first around 3 AM, and had problems getting back to sleep.  I dozed on and off for a few hours, and eventually just gave up and did some work on the laptop, packed, got showered, and dressed.  At 7 AM I hit the hotel’s breakfast, which was much better than last week’s in Wyomissing.  They had breakfast burritos & quiche available, although I chose against them.  I just went with cereal, a bagel, yogurt, and orange juice.

Afterwards I checked out, and hit the road.  Let me tell, this was NOT the week for picking.  You have those, so I’m not stressing it too much.  I still had an awesome time exploring.  I first hit Circle Drive Inn Flea Market in Dickson City, PA.  It looks like it has potential to be a huge market, but this time of year, simply was not.  There were only maybe 10 vendors, and none of them had anything I was looking for.  I moved on, and hit the Pocono Bazaar in Marshalls Creek, PA, and it was bigger and better, but still much of the same.  Only picked up two small pieces there.  Finally I attempted to hit Garden Drive Inn in Hunlock Creek, PA but… no market at all.  I suppose only a diehard like myself hustles year ’round?

Regardless, all three look like markets that during peak season I would love to hit again.  Perhaps next Spring?  I will also try to find some more for when I make another Northeastern PA trip.  After my unsuccessful picking journey, I gave up, and figured why not try some more Christmas shopping?  I hit the Mall in Wilkes Barre as well as the Steamtown Mall in Scranton, PA.  Scranton is a place I look forward to going back to and exploring.  Really nice town with an old-school feel/vibe.  The also have an observation bridge to view the town/trains that I shot some AWESOME photography on….

After Wilkes Barre and Scranton I headed back to Dickson City, did some more shopping, and shot some photography.  By this time I was getting tired, and cranky, and looking forward to being home.  A few hours later when my girlfriend was done with her family & friends (and we got into a nice fight) I picked her up and we headed home.  VERY long weekend, took a lot out of me, but A LOT of fun!  I always have a good time traveling around, exploring, shooting photography, and “biz deving.”  Look forward to another trip back to Northeastern PA!

Day 2… Visiting Hershey, PA Again… Plus Denver, PA!

Posted on by

Just got home from a VERY long, yet VERY fun weekend of traveling pretty much across the State of Pennsylvania.  We got up early today, well I got up before my girlfriend, around 6 AM.  After enjoying the hotel’s AMAZING breakfast (which included eggs, hash browns, toast, ham, fresh fruit, pretty much EVERYTHING you can imagine) and checking out, it was back on the road!

We decided to head back to Middletown, PA and their “Saturday’s Market.” On Sunday it’s still enjoyable, just MANY less vendors and the indoor market isn’t open.  I tend to like the outdoor markets better anyway, but by the time we got there today there really weren’t many deals going on. After being slightly disappointed, I decided to head to another Flea Market I found, this one being about an hour or so away in Denver, Pennsylvania.  We didn’t get there until around Noon, but let me tell you, this one DID NOT disappoint! TONS AND TONS of vendors, even though a lot were packing up and leaving when we got there. I plan on going back really soon and making sure to get there early in the AM (we’re talking 5 or 6 AM for sure).

It’s called “Renninger’s Antique & Collector’s Market” and it’s something to check out if you are in to antiques, etc… like I am.  In fact, the entire town of Denver, PA has many flea markets and antique shops.  I pretty much just scratched the surface there.  I honestly cannot wait to go back!

After leaving Denver, PA it was back towards Hershey! Once we got there we actually got to explore a new place to eat, this one being “Fenicci’s of Hershey,” right on Chocolate Avenue.  Great atmosphere, alright service, great food.  I enjoyed my Fried Haddock meal, although both the Tartar Sauce and the Cole Slaw were, well, pretty much NASTY.  I am going to be honest here.  Everything else though… on point.  I can’t say it was the “best meal I ever had,” but I can say that I would go back. Take that for what you will…..

Afterwards, OF COURSE, it was off to enjoy our last day at HersheyPark and its “HersheyPark In The Dark” activities!  Another very fun afternoon/night for sure.  Overall it was a very fun “business/pleasure” weekend.  I feel that I found some great items on my picking adventures, and had a BLAST traveling around, exploring, at our hotel, the park, and everywhere else we stopped.  We will be back in Hershey in December for “Christmas Candylane” and who knows, maybe a surprise stop here or there before year’s end leading up until Florida in January 2011 when the 2011 OUP Photography Tour actually kicks off.

I love exploring/traveling and plan to do so more and more as new business opportunites begin presenting themself, etc…. For now I’ll leave you with a few more shots of today’s fun at HersheyPark! Enjoy, and check back soon, there just may be some surprises/stops, etc… in store!

2010 OUP Photography Tour Going On NOW! Info On 2011 Tour Coming Soon!

Hello everyone and welcome to this brand new OUP Photography Tour blog! The 2010 OUP Photography Tour is going strong right now, and you can find updates at the following address:

http://2010oupphotographytour.wordpress.com

We’ve already been to Hershey, Pennsylvania, Doswell, Virginia, Outer Banks, North Carolina, and a few random places in between. July is going to be bringing a few more stops, so check out the page for details! The main goal of the OUP Photography Tour is to have fun. To explore various places, persue my passion of photography, and have a blast while doing so. One day I would love to do nothing more than this Tour. It took taking a chance and spending money out-of-pocket to start doing this Tour to realize that it’s a true passion of mine not only shooting photography, but traveling as well. Together they are the perfect fit.

If you decide that you like what I do you can get more information on my photography at the following address:

I will respond to everything… I promise.

Right now I am working on the details of the 2011 OUP Photography Tour. I should have some more information on that shortly. I plan on doing this constantly until it becomes successful or leads to an awesome job/opportunity, etc… so I decided that making this page, and eventually adding its own domain name, was the best option.

You’ll hear more from me soon!

Thanks guys,

Brent
