Here are some of my favorite night images from Duval Street in Key West Florida. This street is amazing (if you can look past all the drunk people). After you are done watching the sun setting, this is the perfect street to take some night photos, from drag queens to neon lights its perfect.
I have been here many times but this is my best trip for photos yet, I spent 3 days taking pictures and you know, being a tourist. It was epic. I will continue to post photos from this epic trip.

On our way to Rhyolite Ghost Town you have to go down this road. It looks like it goes forever and into a different planet once it enters a different galaxy.
I have seen this road in many pictures before and never realize how long it really is. When you get there it’s one of those places you have to just jump out of the car and take a picture of it whether you’re a photographer or not.
We hung out here for about 15 minutes, and we couldn’t get enough pictures of this road. When suddenly cars started pulling over and taking pictures with us, it was really really cool to see the same reaction on other peoples faces.

Horshoe Bend in Arizona is one of the most incredible places I have ever been to. When I saw for the first time I was completely blown away. Before I pulled up my camera to take any kind of photos, I sat down at the edge of the rock and look down at the Colorado River. The place is so incredibly massive that you feel extremely small.
I have always wanted to visit this place. We had an RV and we camped out there until sunrise. We spend a couple hours there before we headed out. I must say this was one of the most epic road trips of my life. I am very happy to be able to share it with all you guys and to share this incredible photo that is a reminder of this incredible journey.

I took this at Mile Marker 88 on my way to Key West. This places is super cool, they have a nice pier/dock where you can sit and relax for hrs. The beach is really nice too and the beer is always cold. Remember to find your beach, I found mine at Marker 88.

Here is an amazing hidden gem in Key West, Florida. Instituto San Carlos. I received full permission to photograph the entire thing, but this room was my favorite.
“The San Carlos is one of Florida’s most beautiful and historic landmarks. It was founded in 1871 by Cuban exiles of Key West as an educational, civic, and patriotic center.
It was at the San Carlos that José Martí united the exile community in 1892 to launch the final phase of his campaign for Cuba’s independence. Martí so loved the San Carlos that he called it “La Casa Cuba”.
You can read more about it on their site www.institutosancarlos.org

Walking the streets of Key West you can easily miss the Tropic Cinema. Once the sun goes down the place comes alive, the neon lights and Marlin Monroe are hard to miss.
I was walking around at night trying to find cool stuff to shoot when this I saw the neon lights out of the corner of my eye. I shot this hand held at blue hour but I went back with a tripod later that night and re-shot it. I like this one better.
