Photographers are always looking for new things and new places to photograph. Sometimes all it takes is driving down a road you’ve never been on before to discover a wonderful place full of photo opportunities. That’s exactly what happened to Roxanne and I today. Originally, we were going to go to Spanish Point: a historic site in Sarasota. Of course they had the audacity to be closed on Thanksgiving Day. So we drove down to Englewood. Our first stop was in a shopping district full of quaint shops and restaurants. After an hour or so, we were on the road again. Our goal was to find an interesting marina. On the way I spotted a derelict house with weathered wood, vines, and photogenic debris. We spent half an hour exploring the relic and moved on. In a few minutes, we meandered down a road we’ve never been on before and found a wonderful spot with boats, birds, and bait shops. Sometimes you can discover great photo opportunities by going someplace you’ve never been before. Next time you go on a photo shoot, take the long way home. You never know what you’ll find. Here are some of the images I captured on Thanksgiving Day:
