One of my personal favorite photography subjects is oddly, door handles and knobs. They have a texture and tarnish like no other.It must be the constancy of human touch over the years that gives older handles and knobs personality and individuality. At any rate, I wanted to share a few in my collection.

The entire state of Florida is full of lakes, rivers and lowlands that are commonly referred to as Swamps. The Everglades is a National Park in southern Florida covering 1.5 million acres and a good portion of that pristine park is swampland. Cypress, Pine Trees along with hundreds of plants, insects, birds and animals paramount to our ecology exist in the swamps. Photographing the swamps can be challenging, but the results are well worth the effort. The beauty is endless, but make sure you have someone with you that can navigate your way back to civilization.
