The whole family except me went to the Taylor Swift concert tonight so I took a photo outing to downtown. The sky was really not looking very promising, but shortly after sunset it really lit up. I got a few nice photos chasing the sunset through downtown. I then shot […]

Views from Parking Garages
One of my favorite ways to find new angles for shots of my hometown are to explore the parking garages. I will often go up to the top level to get a different perspective on areas that I photograph regularly. The sunrise was taken from a parking garage on the […]
Tampa Sunrises and Sunsets
Tampa sunrises and sunsets are hard to beat. Generally I like to capture them over water as you can get some great reflections and eliminate some distractions.
Tampa Palm Trees
Palm trees are synonymous with Florida and I like to include them in my photos when possible. Tonight I have a dawn photo from the University of Tampa where I used the palms to frame downtown Tampa. The second shot is from the other side and catches the sunset behind […]
Tampa Trails

Long Pine Key Lake, Everglades
A few more sunset shots from Long Pine Key Lake in Everglades National Park. This is one of the better sunrise/sunset locations in the northern end of the park. The best part is it is located right next to the campground providing easy access for those early or late shots.
Big Cypress and the Everglades
On our way to Everglades National Park over Spring Break of this year, we stopped in Big Cypress National Preserve. We took an airboat ride where we saw the gator below slinking into the swamp. We also took a few of the short trails where I captured these flowers amid […]
Dead Lake Sunset
For our family vacation this year, we spent a week exploring South Dakota including Custer State Park, Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore and Devils Tower Wyoming, and then spent a week relaxing at my parent’s cabin in Minnesota. Their cabin is on Dead Lake which is in the northwestern part […]
Tampa Sunrises and Sunsets
Two weekends ago when my family was out of town I made it out to photograph 2 sunrise and 2 sunsets around the Tampa Bay area so I have quite a few new pictures to post. For one sunrise, I attempted to go to the Safety Harbor Pier. However when […]
