On our recent trip to Hollywood, Florida we stayed very close to Keating Beach. The nicest part about Hollywood Beach is the trail following the beach. There are people out all throughout the day walking the boardwalk or jogging, biking, or riding little buggies. Sunrise is when I like to […]
Warm versus cool tones are one of the subjects that I have written about in the past, but I find keeps popping up in my photography. Its amazing what a difference a short time can make. The tones 15-20 minutes before sunrise can be very blue. However, almost as soon […]
There are not many places I would rather be at sunrise than out taking pictures. In fact, I am probably one of the few people that would rather be out taking pictures than sleeping in. In Florida, there are not many better places to watch the sunrise than our beautiful […]
St Petersburg has a bunch of parks that line the waterfront and provide great views of the city. The two pictures today were both taken from parks right along the water.. The first shit today is St Petersburg from Albert Whitted Park. You can see the Mahaffey Theater, downtown St […]
During my first HDR workshop, I met my student at Plant Park at the University of Tampa for sunrise. We shot together for awhile and talked about camera settings and HDR techniques. The first shot tonight is one that I took a version of a few years ago for Visit […]

Before capturing my previous photo of teh sailboats at sunrise, I took several photos around the fountain which sits directly across the road from the Salvador Dali Museum along the water. The cool things about this area is that it is right next to the water, catches some reflections, and […]
Sorry for the recent lack of updates. I have backed off posting a little bit as I was doing a lot leading up to my show and I needed a little break. I am slowly getting back into the posting mode now though. The good news is that I have […]
The Lightner Museum, formerly the Alcazar Hotel, in St Augustine is one of the most interesting buildings in Florida. I like the symmetry of the two towers and the fountain out front. However, all of the other photos I took of this building were lacking a little something. I wasn’t […]
Plant Park is the stretch of waterfront bordering the University of Tampa. It is definitely one of my favorite photography locations in the Tampa Bay area. Directly across the water is Curtis Hixon Park, the Tampa Museum of Art, the Glazer Children’s Museum, and the Rivergate Tower (Sykes Building). You […]
