Traveling for work for the first time in a while (by plane, anyway), I find myself at a beautiful almost-seaside resort in Naples, Florida. Unlike the many, many other beach resorts I’ve visited (I jest), this one isn’t right on the beach. Instead, there is a .6 mile walk on an immaculately-maintained boardwalk through a mangrove… grove. This is not a problem. What could be a problem is this:
Hi folks. I know it’s been slow around here lately. After my drive back from Norfolk last week, my tooth that had been bothering me a bit took a serious turn for the worst, dragging me down root canal lane. Things aren’t exactly fixed over here, but I did see a professional and I’m actually not in pain. If you have ever had a toothache, you know that it is damn near impossible to do anything until the pain goes away. That includes photography.
My travels this week took me down to Norfolk, VA. I go there a couple of times a year to photograph some of the ships in the area. On the way back, I tried to stop at a place called President’s Park – an amazing little attraction with massive presidents’ heads. I was dismayed to learn that the park apparently had to shut down for financial reasons. It would be a very short fence to hop and go in, though… perhaps on a subsequent (warmer) trip, I will do a little trespassing. In the meantime, I snagged some photos from beyond the fence.
