Take one cab driver, one digital camera and one computer and you end up with Tampa Taxi Shots written by Tim Fasano.
This is really cool. He share cab driver insights, and photos he has taken as he goes around the city. There are photos of models C.J. and Raquel Gibson (who just hit the big time), actors in period costumes in a History Channel production at Plant Hall, Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission Regulationsvarious waterfront photos and others, including an interesting insight into the Tampa Trib's newracks. He advised us where are the best places to flag down cabs.
We all have our daily routine, seeing the same things every day. As a cab driver he cuts across those routines, giving him the opportunty to show us slices of Tampa, that we might not see.
The *TBT! or the Weekly Planet need to do a story on him. ----------------------------------------- This was posted about the original TAMPA TAXI SHOTS by the Seminole Heights blogger when it was new. I was an innovator who created a new genre of blog. He makes reference to a History Channel enactment of a William McKinley speech at the Plant Hotel in Tampa. The did several takes of him going up the stairs. I found the old photos, even the general officers on the veranda that is now the University of Tampa
He stated in the speech that "American expansionist policy ends today.' He was wrong. It would end with Obama.

Dear Tim Fasano,
ReplyDeleteI am a former cabdriver who wrote a book about my cab experiences and published it on my own blog. Just get out your computer device and go to - realcabrides.blogspot.com - and you're there.
The book/blog is dedicated to Patrick Crone - a cabdriver who was murdered on the job - and to all other cabdrivers who met with the same fate: THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED.
Best,
Edward Dalton
