What do you know about a Yacht Party? I knew nothing about it until this past 4th of July. Let me tell you it was epic. I have been on this insane things before, however I am always working. This time I was a guest, and let me tell you what a day I had.
This was so much fun, just being out with a few amazing people hanging out in the open water. We jumped off the boat, we danced, we sang, it was just perfect. I had such a blast and I am very grateful I was able to experience this awesomeness.
Massive thank you to Gabby and Fred for the incredible day on the boat.
I hate it when I get stuck in a funk, but as an artist you must fight through and get out of it. This doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it can be really frustrating, you just have to remember to push through it and get the job done.
This was happening to me over the weekend, however persistence paid off. This is such a great spot to photograph, but for some reason I could not find my grove.
I kept pushing through until I finally got a decent shot. Here are the results. Check out the vid to see the how frustrated I was and what led up to finally capturing this shot.
I started going to the Abandoned Miami Marine Stadium when I first moved here about 7 years ago. It was such a cool place to hang out at.
At the time this place was wide open, meaning only taggers, photographers, film makers and very few people went to it. It was an epic place to hang out at. I have lots of great memories of this incredible place.
History:
This was a venue where they held boat races and other awesome events. It was the first one of its kind and a beautiful stadium to say the least.
The Miami Marine Stadium was damaged by hurricane Andrew in 1992, and it never reopened its doors. It is such a shame because it is such a beautiful place in an incredible location.
Multiple people have attempted to raise money to fix the place and reopen it, but nothing has happened.
They have built a fence around the place and have a full-time security guard on duty now. Making it impossible to get in. It’s a shame that the place is completely off-limits to everyone. It was such a great place for creatives around the world.
I often post this kind of photos, for some reason I find them extremely pleasing to the eye. I have been shooting this kind of photos since my kite days. I do it now for helicopters and drones. One thing about this kind of photography, it never gets old.
Ansel Adams once said “Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer – and often the supreme disappointment.” I could not agree more with this quote. It is only when all the elements come together and you happened to be there that the magic will happen.
For me, that was yesterday. It all happened so fast, but when it was all said and done, it was perfect. Top that off by an awesome circle of friends to share that moment with, and you have the perfect recipe for awesomeness.
I love it when the elements come together and all I have to do is press the shutter. Of course part of it is being there at the right time, but when this happens it just perfect.
I shot this yesterday before sunset, and all though sunset was amazing, this is actually my favorite photo of the day. It was just perfect.
Check out the vid to see bts. Unfortunately I received a ticket as I was loading my car to leave. The reason “parking at a park after hours” Super lame!
