Florida
I've visited Sarasota many times, but it took me until early 2022 to finally get a skyline photo. Taken from West John Ringling Causeway Park, this location is perfect for photography, as it allows one to capture the city itself, as well as the John Ringling Causeway bridge. Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48), 162x54 Triptych (3 x 54x54), 180x60 Triptych (3 x 60x60).

Lakeland, Florida has some type of special connection to swans. There are swan logos on everything in and around town, and actual swans can be found in and around many of the lakes that form the namesake of the town. Here's one I was able to photograph from an art show I participated in during the spring of 2021. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24, 40x30, 50x40.
Great blue herons can be found throughout the United States, and can grow up to four and a half feet tall, with a wingspan of well over six feet. I was lucky enough to come across this guy (or girl - they're virtually indistinguishable) in Lakeland, Florida, where they live in close proximity to humans, and are therefore much better subjects for photography – they don't fly away as soon as you get a hundred yards away! Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
This is a wood duck that I photographed in the spring of 2021. Many years prior to my having taken this photo, I took a picture of a mandarin duck in South Korea. Both these species of duck are simply beautiful, but I think the mandarin edges out the wood duck. However, I've had numerous people come into my booth, see my mandarin duck photo, and ask if it is a wood duck. As soon as I learned of the existence of wood ducks, it became a minor goal of mine to find and photograph one. An opportunity to do just that presented itself at an art show in Lakeland, Florida, where there are tons of water-loving birds and ducks that have become conditioned to people being in close proximity, and are therefore much easier to photograph than similar birds one may find in a less populated area. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.
I'm a sucker for butterfly exhibits, so when I was driving through Gainesville, Florida, and saw a billboard for the University of Florida's “Butterfly Rainforest,” I made sure to stop by. I was unable to use a tripod (or even a monopod), so photography proved more difficult than I'd hoped, but I still managed to get a few great shots, including this one of these two tree nymphs, who are native to Southeast Asia, but can also be found in Northern Australia and Southern Taiwan. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24, 40x30.

I'm a sucker for butterfly exhibits, so when I was driving through Gainesville, Florida, and saw a billboard for the University of Florida's “Butterfly Rainforest,” I made sure to stop by. As I've seen at other butterfly exhibits, the living creatures on display aren't strictly limited to butterflies. There were plenty of birds to be found, too, including this gold breasted waxbill (also called an orange breasted waxbill), which is a species typically found in the grassland and savannas south of the Sahara. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30.
Ospreys can be found all across North America, but I photographed this particular one on Big Pine Island, Florida. I was out for a stroll in a park on the island, and came across four or five nests in less than an hour. Thanks to the ban on DDT, osprey numbers have rebounded significantly, and they are now among the most easily spotted raptors across the US. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30.
Brown pelicans can be found along the coast of almost the entire US (as well as Mexico, central America, and northern South America). In the Florida Keys, they can be found all over the place, and they are fairly used to being near people, which makes them much easier to photograph. Even given their lack of fear of humans, I was surprised by how close I was able to get to this particular bird The detail in this photo is amazing! Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72, 54x80, 60x90.
It seems that something like half of the photographers I run into while in Florida tend to show photos of deserted beaches, and egrets with mating-season plumage. I'd wanted to photograph some of these beautiful birds for a few years, and I finally got around to it in the winter of 2021. The best place (for photography, anyway) that I was able to find to photograph these beautiful birds was at the Venice Rookery, in southwest Florida. Great egrets were aggressively hunted in the late nineteenth century to make adornments for ladies hats, but have since then staged a recovery. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.

I found myself in southeast Florida in the spring of 2020 as I was exhibiting at some art shows in the area. One of these shows happened to be held in Fort Lauderdale, so after a bit of research, I figured out a nice spot from which to photograph the city (the Seventeenth Street Causeway Bridge), and went there shortly before sunset. The scene certainly didn't disappoint! Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36), 80x40, 80x40 Triptych (3 x 27x40), 96x48, 96x48 Triptych (3 x 32x48), 108x54, 108x54 Triptych (3 x 36x54), 120x60, 120x60 Triptych (3 x 40x60).

Starting in 2018, every time I visited a new city, and had the opportunity to do so, I made it a point to try and photograph the city skyline. I took this photo in the spring of 2019, when two back-to-back Florida art shows gave me the opportunity to photograph some of the State's larger cities. This panorama, which was taken from the MacArthur Causeway bridge that links the mainland to Jungle Island, focuses on downtown Miami. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48).

Miami and the Venetian Causeway Bridge
Starting in 2018, every time I visited a new city, and had the opportunity to do so, I made it a point to try and photograph the city skyline. I took this photo in the spring of 2019, when two back-to-back Florida art shows gave me the opportunity to photograph some of the State's larger cities. This photo of Miami features the Venetian Causeway bridge, as well as the waterfront neighborhoods of Edgewater, Beverly Terrace, and Buena Vista, and was taken from the MacArthur Causeway bridge that links the mainland to Jungle Island. This photo would have been beautiful even with a clear blue sky, but the beautiful clouds really tie it all together! Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48).

I took this photo in the spring of 2019, when two back-to-back Florida art shows gave me the opportunity to photograph some of the State's larger cities. This photo of Orlando was taken from the eastern shore of Lake Eola – which is actually a sinkhole! - and was famously gifted to the city by wealthy Orlando resident Jacob Summerlin, who stipulated that if the land weren't made and kept beautiful by the city, in order for all citizens to be able to enjoy it, the park could be retaken by his heirs. The fountain in the lake is one of many symbols of the City of Orlando. Available in the following sizes (Panorama D): 40x10, 48x12, 64x16, 80x20, 96x24, 96x24 Triptych (3 x 32x24), 120x30, 120x30 Triptych (3 x 40x30), 144x36 Triptych (3 x 48x36), 168x42 Triptych (3 x 56x42), 192x48 Triptych (3 x 64x48), 216x54 Triptych (3 x 72x54), 240x60 Triptych (3 x 80x60).
