Sunrise In A Bottle

Wouldn't it be great if we could keep a sunny day in a bottle for those rainy days that seem to happen when you don't want them to happen. This image was from a recent camping trip to Elliot Key in Biscayne National Park. One of the few places in Miami where you have the opportunity to see a sunrise in a sen set all with in the distance of a five minute walk.

Lilly in the Dark.

A lilly in the dark comes to life with a wind up flashlight. After a few attempts at getting light to evenly expose the flower this is what I got. I have a great deal of fun creating these flower images in the dark. I don't alway seem to have a great deal of success working this technique in Black and White but this one seemed to work out pretty well. Hope you like this one cause I sure do.

Catch Of The Day.

Catch of the Day is an image from my Biscayne National Park that was intended to tell the story of how on any single day you can catch as many bottles on the Beaches of the parks coastal islands. However the catch of the Day policy does have a catch and no release policy.

Another Day at Flamingo Comes To An End

I never really like sunrise or sunset pictures, but I guess there is the exception to the rule, and here it is. I don't know that it is so much of an exception to my rule about shooting sunsets, but it did catch my interest, and here it is. The image is a minimalist view from the Flamingo district of Everglades National Park.

Images from the past.

While in Connecticut last summer I met a friend, and we went to one of our friends family barns, and this was the keeper that never got away. The image is a rusty door on one of the farm vehicles from years gone by. For me this is great pallet of colors that have come together on their own, and I just had to see it before me.

Where man meets Water, and Water meets Man

This is where man meets and becomes part nature. I like the mix of textures between the soft water, and the very course cement ramp. I am not sure what it was that brought interest to the boat ramp, but I am just glad that I was able to notice the mix of textures, colors and feel that his image presents.

A.I.R.I.E. 2011

It's official I am one of the artist chosen to participate in the Artist In Residence In

Everglades National Park for 2011. I am however doing it in a different way then all the other artist in the program in that I am going to work through out the year rather then working there for a single month to fulfill my obligations in the program. I have so many ideas for new images and if I can complete as many as half of these ideas I will have a whole lot of new work. If your in the Everglades keep an eye out for a wandering photographer with a car full of props.
