inspired photography with just enough perspective
As the sun rises in the east in Sarasota Florida it rises over the city. Most people think of Florida as a place to retire with warm weather year round. That’s true, but Sarasota has a younger crowd as well due to the colleges in the area, and so every morning before dawn the streets …
This image is from Ken Thompson Park in Sarasota on a hot summer afternoon. So hot, in fact, that three minutes later I was back in the car. Daily Image There are a couple of reasons I like this photo; one is the minimal aesthetic, and the other is that its same spot I took …
OMG, I take a lot of photos of bridges. I think I knew this in the back of my mind, but good grief, I have a ton. Daily Image This particular one of Sarasota Bay and the Ringling Bridge is from about six years ago. I reprocessed it just for fun and, to see the …
