I’ve lived in the Tampa area for over ten years now, and have had a serious hobby of photography for much of that time. Since I’ve recently made the decision to move away from this state, however, I started noticing that in my time here I’ve taken surprisingly few photos of the things that make Tampa what it is.

With that in mind, I’m spending my final few months here paying more attention to shooting the things that are native to Tampa — the beaches, the palm trees, the harbors and ports, and so on. Here, I was scouting for a location for a band shoot and as luck would have it, the Port of Tampa was directly behind me. So I grabbed a few shots.
