The Hideaway


One upon a time I had a really good experience at this place...

This is probably my all-time favorite landscape picture I have ever taken. Being there is truly as serene as this picture would lead you to believe.

The Enclosure at The Hideaway


...Same place as the last photo. This one is rather neat because my editing creates the sense of enclosure that you really feel when standing in this spot. The whole area has a very open, mountainous feel until you step down into this gazebo. The gazebo, gives this area a very secluded, romantic enclave that one would just expect to be present at such a location.

Chicago, NYC


On Broadway in NYC, not in Chicago. People always seem to get confused even though Ambassador theatre is a very famous NYC attraction.

I call this series of photos, "My Life: The Movie"

The Bridge


It was once so strong and mighty, though completely taken for granted; now it lies in ruin. I can relate to how it must have felt when it was first torn apart. Fortunately its legacy lives on and many people now admire it in a completely different light.

The Spring


The largest spring on St. Johns River; in Blue Spring State Park near DeLand, FL. This spring spits out water at a constant 72 degrees year-round, providing the perfect temperatures for the West Indian Manatees to flock to in the winter.

Directly to the left of the tree's reflection is the bubbling spring that comes out of a cave 120 feet deep that you can actually scuba/snorkel down into.

The River


St. Johns River in Blue Spring State Park near DeLand, FL. This is one of the largest refugees for West Indian Manatees; a lot of which spend the winter here.

The Fish


A fish. Taken underwater on CocoCay Island in the Bahamas

The Ball Field


Take me out to the ball game...edit out all the crowd...

I guess I never truly enjoyed this past-time; probably because I never learned to like crackerjacks. This was a fun day though; I was with 2 good friends and 1 other person.
