Quick little election post to say congrats to everyone who took the time to do their homework, and submit your best choices possible on the ballots 👏👏 No doubt this has been an involved & intense election cycle, but hats-off to everyone who made the effort to make informed choices 👏👏 As these results start to roll in, likely about half of the country is going to be highly disappointed with the results. No matter the outcome, we just have to keep ourselves grounded. The acuity of all this will be in the rear-view mirror before you know it. 

 Few photos from 'the trail' over the years here, info below: • Barak Obama campaigning in 2008 at Knology Park in Dunedin, FL. • Mitt Romney campaigning from the back of a pickup truck in Tampa, Florida for 2008 Presidential Election • George W. Bush leading the Memorial Service for Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster - Houston TX 2003 • Donald Trump attempting to get re-elected in Tampa, FL in the fall of 2020 • And last photo .. the Secret Service agent was kind enough to snap a photo of me with our lost astronauts. for the camera nerds: GWB shot on the 4.2mp 1D classic 👌 Obama & Mitt on the 1DIII. Trump on the 5DIV

Can’t get enough of these sunrise gradients on the water @stpetepier ; just one of the million reasons to love St Pete 🤩 This started off as an equipment test, but turned into a nice little ‘lapse here. The 300mm is always a treat to use, but now thinking the compression of the 800mm might be extra special for this vantage point 👀 #stpetepier #downtownstpete #sunrisetimelapse #300mm

Everything about this photo is wrong! 1) This is not how I feel about beer 2) This is not a pinky-up drink 3) I had a great time at Side Splitters 4) I am much older than I appear in this photo 5) I have four veins on my forehead, not two 6) The crowd enjoyed themselves It was an honor to fill up the room at such a respected comedy club! I can’t wait to come back to @sidesplitterstampa ! Great photo @kernzilla You are a pro!!

Helene aftermath has me speechless … filmed 9/28

 tagged are a few of local pages that seem to have the best and most current ways to help. The amount of unity last several days has been incredible to see, highly commendable

A hoedown? On a Tuesday night??? Bet. 🥂💃🏾🤠   Thanks to everyone who came out to our first ever listening party earlier this month! What better way to celebrate Queen B than listening to her latest album, Cowboy Carter, in style?   And y’all really showed up in style. 🤠   While Cowboy Carter might not be a country album (according to Beyoncé herself), it definitely draws inspiration from her Texas and Louisiana roots. Country legends Linda Martell, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson are also featured throughout!   Thank you to the local businesses who made our mini market so special: @daddykoolrecords , @book_and_bottle , @lazymadestudio , @astra.aromatherapy , and @daisyandhoneystudios ! 🧡   And congrats to everyone who won a raffle prize! ✨   📸: @kernzilla   Music Nights are every second Tuesday of the month, when we’re open till 8 p.m. and it’s only $10 to get in! Here’s the next one:   🏳‍🌈 A Night of Musicals and Country Out on the Range with @burlynathan ⏰ Tuesday, June 11, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. (show starts at 6 p.m.) 📍 The James Museum, 150 Central Ave., St. Pete 💰 $10 museum admission; FREE for museum members   #TheJamesMuseum #WesternArt #FloridaArtMuseums #ThingsToDoInFlorida #FineArt #StPeteMusic #ThingsToDoInTampaBay #DowntownStPete #DateIdeas #DTSP

Thank you 2023 🤩👌 was fortunate enough to shoot such a WIDE variety of content this year, and wouldn’t have it any other way. Always love a good yearly recap, quick showcase here of my fav live shows this year. Tremendous amount of fun, worked with some fantastic people, and enjoyed the gear challenge of shooting shows properly. Looking forward to more great music in ‘24’. List of artists below: @sarahbrightmanmusic @stephensanchezofficial @chelseacutler @thechainsmokers @geasy @teamdaikaiju Gear was everything from 8-15mm to 85mm 1.2 to the legendary 300mm 2.8 👌 Hope everyone has a great new year lined up! 🤙🤙 #hello2024 #livemusic #frontrow #stpete #prophotog #getoffthecouch
