I'll take, "Things you can find in a parking lot for $200."

iPhone, (c) Matt Larson, 2008

Today, Jet and I stayed in the car while Mom ran inside for a few items at Publix and Borders. At Borders a beautiful white Rolls-Royce pulls up a few slots away ... so I grabbed my Polaroid camera. The next stop was Publix and after a few minutes, I noticed all the carts outside and how the light was hitting all the handles of them--I thought it might make a cool shot too.

Very happy with today's finds--it was hard work. :0)

Sometimes, "the image" finds you and you just have to be ready and open for it. I guess that's what living in the moment means?

Modern Day Mr. Bill?

Found this little gem under the overpass at Bay to Bay Blvd. and MacDill Ave. He seemed to be moving a little slow. No clue as to what he was up to.

Missed the Exit--View from the Back Seat

iPhone image by (c) Matt Larson, 2008

The other day we took a little trip with a friend to Brandon to see the new Apple store. Somehow we missed the exit, and the one following, and the one following that one too. I guess we were so engrossed in our conversation that no one was really paying attention. Working our way back west to Brandon, I made this image from the back seat--it's kind of fun and reminds me of my college days. (don't ask)

Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Wales, FL

Ok, so what does a Polaroid photographer shoot when one goes to one of Florida's most famous gardens? Well, the walking path ... what were you thinking? Flowers? It's a must see ... but warning ... if you show up with a Polaroid camera, expect to be looked at really funny. And the noise may be an issue to. :0) Enjoy! It's a must see so I posted the address below.

There are more images to see, but you'll have to come to the show at C. Emmerson in July. More to come!

... sorry for the delay in posting. It's been crazy busy at work lately, but I assure you, I've been working every spare minute for the exhibition in July. It will be at C. Emmerson Gallery in St. Petersburg. More to come on that later but for now, here's a sneak peak at a few of the 100 plus images I'll be exhibiting.
