Danger

Dont try and steal the farmers Mangoes!

Somewhere in Homestead Florida.

At the park one Sunday afterrnoon

While walking on Hollywood beach I noticed this scene and decided to snap a photograph. I added a dry brush filter to the image. What do you like or dislike about this image? Do you feel that it tells a story? Do you see the light in a pleasing way?

Meeting Nice people with Tasty Jelly's and Jams oh my, so delicious! Meet Grandma Baa's

It was a beautiful day to take a stroll at the Fruit and Spice Park in the Redlands, Florida today!

My wife Aly and I love nature and the outdoors very much. Today the park sponsored a green eco friendly festival. While visiting all the different vendors we met Grandma Baa's and tried several samples of her jams and jellies. Wow, delicious and different! I tried the pumpkin jam and it was perfect. What a smart buy and flavor with the holidays right around the corner.

After speaking with Grandma Baa's (Mrs. Johnson) I asked if they had a catalogue? To my surprise she said no! I asked if I could take a quick photo on site and give it to her to use. She said sure, why not. Well here's  the shot with a little message on it. I will be emailing it to her later.

Her jellies and Jams really are tasty and maybe you can visit her web site and try a few.

Well, take care now and come back in a few days for more of my blog.

Peace!

I was very happy to capture this one!

Faces of Foreclosure

David and Rhona lost there Florida home a few weeks ago. Now they stand on the intersection of I-95 and Hallandale Blvd asking for handouts. They collect enough daily to eat a meal and stay in a cheap motel.

I asked if I could take a photo and publish it. They said yes and signed a release for me. I gave them some cash for the shot and asked a few more questions. David was a tile setter and Rhona a housewife. David injured his leg and was unable to work.

More later in an article I will be writting on the Faces of Foreclosure.

Get it framed!

What a difference a frame makes. What do you think?

The Davie School

Sometimes I just get these ideas and
all of a sudden I make a photograph.

This is from the Old Davie School in Davie, Florida.  I am in the classroom at the teachers desk.

I wanted to create a nostalgic photograph. As usuall with me, I walked around and approached the subject from all angles and then as if by magic I made this shot. Hey, I like it! How about you?

Here is a little more information on the school house and I have some photos of the building I will post later when I can find them on my hard drive. Darn, I hate it when I misplace a photo on that drive.

Old Davie School is a rare, early landmark of Broward County’s westward development, a symbol of early twentieth century progressiveness in Florida. This historic structure was the first permanent school in the Everglades and is now Broward County’s oldest existing school building. It was in continuous use as a school until 1980. From the day it opened, the Davie School served as the area’s source of education as well as a center for community gatherings.  More about the School here.
