Tampa Taxi Shots

I had fun working with Nicole of ABC Action News Tampa I was interviewed by Nicole of Tampa Bay 28 Action News today at Tampa International airport. It was about the suspicious package found the other day. I took her to the staging deck where the cabs are located ready to be called down to pick up a fare. This is where I was located when I went to use the men's room, and found the package. She shot lots of B roll to chop up and use in the news story tonight. In the old days, she would have had a camera person with her but I guess tv news operates on a tight budget today like everyone. I was impressed by her professionalism and commitment to get the story accurate. She had contacted the people in charge at the airport, for their side of the story and was going to interview them as well. It seems it was just discarded luggage. That should not make anyone feel any better about all of this. The ability to report suspicious behavior is not in place. 911 seems to be your best op...

A nice sunset on the Gulf Coast This was taken on Clearwater Beach back in the day. It was shot with film and a cd backup. That was really one of the real advantages of film over digital. You would process your film and actually have the photos to show for it. Who knows where all of our Facebook images will be ten years from now, or the ones you have on your computer. Print them out so you will have them in the future. I am still trying to get back into that kind of shape I was in back them. Swimming is my main line right now because I need the awesome cardio it provides. My blood work is a testament to that. The recession was rough for me. I hope to be able to make up some major ground right now.

I went to SUPER CUTS in Tampa today. The commercial shows guys getting a new look and then going out and kicking some serious ass at MMF, a casino and extreme sports. I can't wait. You can see the before and after below. AFTER THE WILDMAN

If these people look familiar, your right. Its Jackie Kennedy, Ethel Kennedy, and JFK taken in 1954. They were just kids. Who knew how popular this type of photography would be. A real genre, I believe. Some folks say its narcissism. I don't think so. Jackie's camera looks like a medium format still used today, with a $20,000 digital back.
