The Hillsborough River runs along the Western border of downtown Tampa and is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. My favorite way to capture the river is to use it as a mirror and try to capture the reflections of the downtown buildings in it. Both of these shots […]
There are a lot of components of a photo that can help to make or break an image. Here in sunny Florida, we have a lot of blue cloudless skies which is nice for some things, but can sometimes lack a bit of drama for photography. Nice cloud formations can […]
I have just returned from 2 weeks away in Minnesota and am slowly getting back in the swing of things. During our vacation I took a break from most of my normal “social media” activity and will be picking back up. I am going to start tonight with a few […]

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 […]
