No Magic Bullet

I had the privilege to go on a photo excursion with Bill Belleville yesterday. I was hoping for an easy answer as to how to have my photography more recognized, but as Bill put it, "there is no magic bullet". He was grateful enough to provide me with suggestions. I hope to do other excursions with him.

Road Trip

I'm headed to central Florida on Saturday to shoot
with photographer and videographer Bill Belleville. He has done several books and documentaries about Florida. He saw my work and invited me up. I'm thrilled to be able to shoot with someone of his stature. Check out his website at www.billbelleville.com

E-Commerce

Well, the website is now running on all cylinders. I have gotten the watermarks in place on all images, and the e-commerce section is now working as well. All images will be sold as prints only, unless specifically requested. Pricing in the website is for print only.

Artist Interview

I am a self proclaimed publicity hound. I market myself to the fullest. I was fortunate enough to find another connection online through whopple.com. Whopple gives artists additional exposure in the art world through an online interview. To view my interview, please go to:

Mosquito Coast

I was back up in Brevard County Saturday visiting two of the counties preserves. The Enchanted Forest gave me the best photo opportunities, but being so lush and thick, was very difficult to get any good shots. Barrier Island Preserve was not that exciting. Both, however, provided so many mosquitoes, I found myself swatting more than photographing. Even with a repellant, they continued to swarm and attack. Next Saturday is a Photo Adventure at Butterfly World. I'm sure the conditions will be much better there. In the meantime, it's time to figure out where else I may visit.

Rain or Not

I'm heading out early tomorrow morning to the Enchanted Forest, a preserve near Titusville. If the weather holds up I may get a 2nd shoot at the Barrier Island Preserve. Only time will tell.

Supporting the Arts

I'm making a trip down to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow to check out an Arts District. It never ceases to amaze me how some communities embrace the arts while others don't have a clue. Arts districts, with restaurants and coffee shops mingled in, help create economic activity within a city or county. It's up to business and political leaders to work together to create such vibrance within a community. Martin County needs to look at these communities and create a buzz of their own.
