On my trip to Dry Tortugas National Park I was able to photograph two different lighthouses. The first is the Fort Jefferson Light which is a small lighthouse, painted completely black, that sticks up from one corner of Fort Jefferson on Garden Key. The second lighthouse, Loggerhead Key Lighthouse, was […]
Two more shots from Minneapolis tonight. The first is one more shot of the reflection of downtown Minneapolis in the Mississippi River. The second shot is of a houseboat and the grain belt beer sign also along the Mississippi. The second photo was processed to give a retro look. I […]
I do not like to take people pictures. I currently take pictures of my daughters, but before they were born I very rarely included people in my shots. This is definitely a regret from my trip to Africa. If I were to do it all over I would have taken […]
