Here lies stuff & things. I am a graphic designer who works in film advertising in NYC. On the side I like me some photography, typography, music, coffee & ampersands. Death to comic sans. Any photo you might find here is one that I have taken unless otherwise noted. Please, do ask me questions and give me suggestions. I am an amateur & one day hope to be a professional amateur. Fingers & toes crossed. Please & thank you.

If ever you find yourself in that corner of the planet, I recommend squeezing in a visit - besides seeing myriad flowers and birds you may also get to see baby alligator. We did. Two thumbs up. I only spent a few short hours there but was able to fire off a few decent shots at some of the flowers. I tried getting some good photos of the alligators and some osprey but A) I didn’t have best lens for that sort of work and B) I felt like I was less likely to get maimed taking photos of flowers. So I pretty much stuck to the flowers. </span></p>http://marcchecket.tumblr.com/post/48290590612http://marcchecket.tumblr.com/post/48290590612Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:22:49 -0400FloridaflowersIndian HawethorneTraveler's TreeTraveler's PalmBlanket FlowerOrnamental PineappleCrucifix Orchid<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e5d7d1d1b60a09447b2b9b17148e65db/tumblr_mlf9a5f49z1qgt1l8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>We should really be utilizing all that empty space up there.
