Leaving the New York bubble -- and Covid Anxiety Prison -- can give you a wider perspective of the times we are in and how people are managed in different locales. I may be exaggerating a bit, but it has become some form of house arrest. If they are trying to make people leave, it's working. Thankfully, I was able to bust out of this prison for a few days with my girlfriend between Christmas and New Year's to a place where people are living their lives.
Love the fact that I live in Florida...my son is in college in Tampa and loves it...Glad you had some decompression time. As an aside, I looked over your website and love the Infrared shots you took!! I used to shoot back in the day and infrared with its contrast is magical!!
Well-written and as always great photos. What is your travel camera choice? Tampa is nice, and you can drive down to Ft. Myers or Naples. Plus Lego Land is nearby!
Thank you for your courage. Glad to see the south is becoming seen as a safe space. I grew up in and currently live again in Georgia. When I hit my late teens I started hating it here because I thought the place was full of racist rednecks. Now in Covid land I feel like this is the land of the free, and I’m extremely grateful to be living in Georgia.
How long has it been since you drove? I remember when I was a Marine at Andrews AFB. We had a young Marine who grew up in Brooklyn and had never driven. Unfortunately, his job in the Marines was driving a tow tractor, moving F-4 Phantom aircraft around the flight line. Before you can drive a tow tractor, you need a regular state issued driver's license. After a few white-knuckle driving lessons around the DC freeways, he got his MD license. Luckily, none of the instructors cars (or nerves) suffered any permanent damage. After driving the roads to your parents house, I have full confidence you'll quickly regain your driving skills. Be sure to drop me a line NAtime you are in VA.
