Mind the Gap
So what's this "Blog" about... It's about nothing and everything. It's about what interests me creatively: photography, drawing, writing, painting, and others. Sometimes, I get caught up in an idea or a thought, and I can't let it go; it must go somewhere. So here is where it's going to go. It's a mess... but it's my mess. I hope you enjoy it, but mind the gap when crossing.

Good day sunshine...
A couple of times a year, the Sun rises in between the arches of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. There is an excellent spot in Fort Desoto Park.

Bok Tower - Photo Assignment

This past Sunday, a few photographers joined me during my photo assignment/adventure to Bok Tower Gardens. The weather was even helpful! A self-photo assignment is where you task yourself to go out and capture images. Self-photo tasks are, for me, a way to challenge my photo craft. I've been to Bok Tower Gardens many times. It's a great plac
