Greetings from Little Havana

The real Havana has been in the news a lot these days but I, being a mere normal working American, can only come as close as the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana. Not quite the same but a pleasurable place nonetheless. My wife and I enjoyed a few days in Miami Beach, just kicking back and trying to escape the…

We photographers need to stick together (don’t be a dick)

In the photo below I highlighted the photographer who rudely got into my photo. Although he knew I was setup in that spot taking photos long before he decided to shoot from that point, plus he even glanced in my direction as he was walking towards the shore, he still set up his tripod to shoot without asking if it was…

Nothing new, just some cliches

Sunrise, sunset. Doesn’t get any more cliché than that when it comes to photo subjects. But I like ’em anyway! 🙂 Some recent shots from Miami.    

Night fever

Sticking with the southern exposure photography. I know this work isn’t very creative but I don’t have anything else to show at the moment and I’ll have to get creative through the winter, so there’s still a chance. 🙂 Here are few low light photos that just ooze with color. I’m thinking they are a nice change from my black…

The pause that refreshes

I was on a much-needed vacation getaway last week to pause and refresh. A little trip down to Miami to get one last blast of summer before facing the dreaded winter in Pennsylvania. It was just that, a vacation with my wife, and I tried my best to keep photography to a minimum. I even kept my DSLR at home…

Wish I was there

When I’m browsing on dpreview.com and checking the latest camera gear discussions, I often like to check the photo challenges on the site and see if I have a photo that meets any of the themes available for submission. As long as there is no date taken requirement, I’ll just go through my archives and find the one that best…

Thank you subscribers

I just want to take the time to thank everyone who has subscribed to my blog. It really means a lot to me that you care enough to want to know what I post and take the time to visit often. Trying to get this blog off the ground gets a little easier when I know folks are interested in…

Purple palm trees!

I thought I would post a nice colorful photo for this weekend. A night-time street scene on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. I would think a thousand other tourists have a similar shot, but nobody I saw walking by with cameras bothered to point it in the same direction. It’s not often that I make the attempt at an after dark photo, mostly…

Outside the Monastery

Just continuing my series on the Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami. The exterior shots, in my opinion, aren’t as dramatic as the interior shots from my previous post, but I thought someone might like them. I used the same gear ( I had to….it was all I had 😉 ) for all of the shots. Again I did some black and white…

Sea and surf

Until I get done processing more of the monastery photos, I thought I would show a few beach photos. Waking up and hearing the ocean and taking walks on the beach in the evening were some of the relaxing moments of my trip. It’s a different feeling that you don’t get in Pennsylvania. I kept most of my beach shooting…
