inspired photography with just enough perspective
Living near the water as I do, my eyes are always drawn to boats at anchor just off shore. It evokes dreams of sailing amongst faraway islands, or just relaxing to the gentle rocking of the waves. But then, the light changes to green and I go about my day.

Sarasota Florida. Sometimes the world looks better when I squint my eyes.

I took this while walking my dogs one lazy afternoon at the Riverwalk in Bradenton Florida. As relaxed as that sounds, holding two dogs on a leash while attempting to take a picture of the sunset is, …somewhat involved.

Late one afternoon I found myself with camera heading to Siesta Key and stopped at the bridge to snap this. I saw a couple of dolphins swim by but as is usually the case had the wrong lens. Now if you could just imagine dolphins swimming by this picture would be complete.

Looking for Margaritaville? Nokomis might fit the bill; a small town in Sarasota County along Highway 41 with a great beach and, like all Florida west coast towns, great sunsets.

At the very end of Anna Marie Island in Florida is the Rod and Reel. It’s a combination fishing pier, restaurant and Inn. Being at the very end of the island it’s off the beaten path and tends to be a favorite of the locals. I can honestly say that they have the best Grouper sandwich bar none. Whenever we have guest, this is probably our favorite spot for an authentic Florida Gulf Coast feel. Give it a try if your in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

The other day we went to dinner with our neighbors and on the way home Dave had the presence of mind to suggest we stop and look at the sunset. And it’s a good thing he did because the display we got that evening was nothing short of spectacular. At the end I think I said something to the effect that I’d never seen a 10, but this one rated at least a 9.5. Nonetheless, I didn’t have my camera so I snapped away with my iPhone.

On Anna Marie Island in Florida there is a public pier where you can fish, have a meal or just watch the dolphins and manatees as they frolic in the water. I arrived here at sunrise one morning only to find two other photographers with the same idea. Maybe it’s just me but I seem to be seeing a lot more photographers these days and they all seem to show up at the same spots. Or maybe I just never paid attention and they’ve always been there. Whatever the case, this turned out be be another morning in paradise and I am glad I was there to capture the moment.

These houses are in Bradenton Beach in Florida. I’m not sure how long they’ve been here but I recently noticed them when walking back to my car after taking pictures of a sunset. I think I never noticed because they are across the street from the beach and when I’m driving or riding my bike on Gulf of Mexico drive, my eyes are always glancing at the beach, not the other way. These just add to the fun feel of the beach town that is Bradenton Beach.

This is the Van Wezel Performing Arts center in Sarasota Florida. Aside from being one of the best venues in the region, it has some pretty cool architecture which, in my opinion, enhances the feel of Sarasota. I took this one afternoon when we had typical storm clouds in the area but decided to go with the dramatic feel. Besides, performing arts includes a lot of drama.
