These are all photos taken last month while on a short walk about town before a night shift. I tend to overshoot so it takes me a while to work through all the photos (the end product is 1/3 of the shots I take workout into a picture with only 15 or so out of 300 frames being worthwhile in my opinion). I broke the images into 4 different categories, Shots I liked...
It’s difficult for me to get out and dive in Key West. Running out to one of the offshore reefs in my little dinghy (9′ with a small 6 hp motor) means I can only head out on the calmest days. Those calm days always seem to happen on a work day. But a couple months ago I was able to get out to the Western Sombo reef which is due south of Stock Island. This...
Flying a drone in Key West can be problematic. The city has an ordinance making it illlegal to fly in city limits which is redundant in that you can’t fly within 4 miles of an airport – Key West is only 4 miles long, and has an airport. Actually with the US Navy being here there are a couple of helicopter pads and the airbase on Boca Chica Key. So to fly...
From the mooring field you can see a number of mangrove islands off to the northeast. They are about 4 – 5 miles away and don’t look like much. With the new dinghy motor providing me a little more range I decided to head out there on a pre-dawn Sunday excursion to get an angel for a sunrise shot that didn’t include buildings and stuff in the way...
Working two jobs has got me behind on my photo editing, and this harbor walk shoot is one that I’ve been slacking on. I’m trying to build a stock photography library that’s selling on the various agency websites, with a goal of 10 – 20 photos added every week. These are all photography that I’ve submitted to them. It’s working...
Finally have a new computer so I can work on my photography edits that have been piling up. About 4 or 5 weeks ago, we had a little wind storm going on. I had taken my electronics to shore so I could work on my computer but had gotten complacent and didn’t put everything into ziploc bags like I normally do. Trying to lift my overloaded backup up to the boat...
Got an early start this morning and did a little exploring around Key West doing some photography. This town reminds me a lot of Venice, CA with a lot of World War II era houses, weird people, and a feeling of community. Hope you enjoy the pictures of Key West.

Did a little practice with the drone today taking some photos and video of an anchorage on the ICW. I did an update which seems to have changed all my settings (this happens so I should have known to make sure) so the videos and photos aren’t the best, but still interesting shots of the local area. Drone Pictures Drone Videos I just did some color...
While waiting for the Greyhound bus out of town for a short vacation in Naples, FL I took some drone video and photography of the Main Street bridge in downtown Jacksonville. Main Street bridge is an iconic landmark in Jacksonville. I’m starting to get the hang of piloting the drone while at the same time controlling the drone camera. Most of these I took with...
One of my hobbies is photography and the newest field in photography is using a drone to capture images and videos. I haven’t done a lot of photography lately, just not being that inspired, and I thought a drone might give me a different perspective. Plus I needed an outlet for when my projects on Pomaika’i just weren’t going my way, something to do...
