I spend my winter in Florida. I do not lay out on the beach, play golf or have a desire to fracture my bones playing pickleball, I am always looking for something to do, especially if there are photographs involved. A…

My first visit to Tampa was only two days, and considering that I usually like to spend up to two months on trips, it was more of a drive by. I heard about Ybor City so I took the trolly, which is free by the way, from downtown Tampa to…

Back in the last century taking a dramatic photograph from a building’s rooftop wasn’t a problem. It took a courteous conversation with the property management, assurance that I had liability coverage and a good reason why that particular venue was important for…

Cure for a cloudy day

Christmas is here once again, which means New Year’s is a few days away. Time to take stock and plan a path forward. I start with getting the clutter off my desk, organize my equipment cabinet and get junk out of miscellaneous drawers. You may have similar plans. As far…
