So you know I spent a very long weekend in Florida back in August, capturing the southern tip of the peninsula with my eyes and lenses.  What you may not know is that on the last day of my trip my friend and I decided that we were going parasailing. We thought it was safe enough but we had a...

So if you can wish upon a star, can you wish upon a starfish? It certainly rolls off the tongue better. I dunno, it was extra magical for me since I’d never caught a starfish before. It didn’t give us any good luck though. Maybe even some bad luck considering what happened after this...

The fishermen in Naples all head home right at Sunset.  I wonder if they even notice the giant canvas of awesome behind them as they zoom by. Due Date Near Dark Shake Hands with the Devil King Rat movie terminator salvation Goodbye Bafana the killing room movie the matrix full...

If you remember my angry tweet about the waiters not speaking english properly, it was about this place.  I like the way it was decorated and the food was ok.  I just get frustrated when I can’t communicate anything to the person taking my food...

We took a sunset cruise and the sunsets out there in the gulf are spectacular. I have the Florida itch and it’s only been a week and a half since I left! I should find myself back there in November...

I honestly would not be able to tell the difference between this frog and some lichen on a tree. Animal mimicry is awesome. Taken at the Naples...

This isn’t the best picture composition-wise but I felt like sharing it because it illustrates really well what a wonderful colour the waters off Naples are....

I had an intense four day vacation in Florida and as if to assuage the last, very stressful six hours, Florida says goodbye with it’s own brand of...

The waters of Key Largo are absolutely still in the morning. It’s almost like a mirror....

My dad’s tank is always full of babies. It’s an underwater nursery. These babies are smaller than a quarter of a...

These are the finals from Meghan’s session last week.   Critiques welcome! Please let me know how you feel about these photos!

The city of Fort Myers from the air. Look at all the large boats around the peninsula.  Fort Myers and the surrounding area houses some very wealthy people....

Famous chocolate maker and food network chef Norman Love has a shop in Fort Myers. It’s filled with things like this, made entirely out of...

Florida’s been pretty dang amazing. Taking four days off from everything was a good idea. I feel re-energized and just plain awesome. Today’s my last day here. We’re going parasailing and then spending a couple hours kayaking the waters. A good end to an amazing weekend. Also we were...

Beautiful shore off the coast of Naples, Florida. Weather was perfect and so were the crowds....

Pro tip: Go to the zoo earlier in the morning because that’s when all the animals are awake and doing stuff. They all look like this after noon....

Hello from Florida! I have no real Internet down here so I’m doing everything on my phone. :) it’s not bad actually! You know what else isn’t bad? Floridian sunsets. :) - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone Location:Daniels Pkwy,Fort Myers,United...

By the time you see this I will either be in the air or in Florida already. While I was packing last night, Molly made a silent suggestion. Sometimes you don’t need a voice get your point across. I’ve had that suitcase open all week but this was my last night and well… I think she knew....

I put out feelers a few weeks ago, looking for some folks to help me develop my portrait skills. Meghan, a “tweep” of mine, volunteered and we wound up doing this fun shoot last night. She let me drag her around parts of historic Duluth and get some practice. I still have quite a few...

So I find myself at the park right around sunset and of course, as I’ve said multiple times before, a georgia sunset is … well gorgeous! Now since I was totally not there to shoot photography, I didn’t have any of my camera equipment. I did have my iPhone. Truthfully, this phone...

When I was younger, I used to notice how all my cold carbonated drinks would have bubbles on the inside of the glass while having water drops on the outside of the glass. With the great deduction skills of a seven year old I thought that the liquids just permeated the glass and exchanged...

This time next week I’ll be driving down to the airport and flying down to Fort Myers. I’m am totally excited about seeing my good, long-time friend Sana as well as enjoying some beautiful Floridian scenery. This picture was taken in 2008, off the deck of a cruise ship leaving Miami. ...

Something new sort of.  These are photos I’ve taken using only my iPhone and the apps on it. Mostly hipstamatic but some lo-mob and tiltshift apps. There’s something fun about vintage renditions of everyday photos. I’ love lo-fi photography. Have any mobile photography...

Henry looks at the sushi task that is upon him with a mix of fear and determination! If you want to know how this story ended, the plate was empty....

A photo I took last year while attending services at North Point Community Church. After years of stodgy southern baptist services, this is a different experience, let me tell you. The funny part of this picture is that since I was using my point-n-shoot, I didn’t set the flash off so it...
