Heading to Weedon Island with the missus for some pitcher-takin. I like the trail with the footbridge, and the view from the observation tower is pretty cool. Hopefully the Rangers are inside watching the Rays' game...there may be some Orias-esque moments smile

Took the kids to Venice Beach so we could look for shark teeth.  We found about a dozen or so.  smile

If you google Sharky's on the Pier on Venice Beach...that is the area very rich in shark teeth.  Lots of people "panning" for shark teeth etc.  Using colendars of sorts etc.  fun time with the kids.  Only about 1:20 drive from St Pete.

Funny...

I was just talking to Rick and his wife about this the other day

It is amazing how many sharks teeth there are there
And how long people have been finding them

There must literally be billions of them

though from my source highly unlikely this quake generated one

Hey all.. well i keep getting "news" from the home front.  Mom is doing as best to be expected after having a stroke.  She is learning to walk again and very determined.  She just had a bronchoscopy done due to a "spot" on her lungs and yes is is adenocarcinoma well differentiated.. 89 yrs old.. they are now talking about "removing" it.  hmmm  well needless to say I will be flying up to see about the whole situation before the decision is made...  shit.. my folks had been in relatively good health until recently.  everyone expects that the eventual will happen.. just hate seeing it happening.. a bummer to say the least.. * sigh*...

Thank you to all of you who sent private notes and prayers  , again it means alot .. life is a bitch at times...

We did have a great time on our trip.. no drama, excellent company, super fine models with loads of fun and laughter and Ed was able to take time and shoot some stuff he has been thinking about for a long time... nice  to see him back in a good place...create and feel good with what he is shooting...not just production mode...

Carl.. i asked about the cigars as i bought a really good high quality "cubans" and i want to give them to someone who could really appreciate them rather than some random schmoe...lol..

keep youre eyes open on our Tumbler as we will be posting some of our work there.. 

need to have a get together soon too...  mugginess will be leaving area soon..

For a little shop it's not bad, a little pricey, but OK

Nothing around here compares to Edwards though

Hi Tampa!

I am in need of a mansion/high end suite/condo available to rent for a shoot.

Photographer secured, budget is pretty open, need to shoot 4 sets. Will be around 6-8 hours. I need actual recommendations, not just suggestions as many hotel websites won't actually show room detail.

Thank you for any help! Can travel outside of Tampa as well if necessary.
