Riverfront Park and Museums, Tampa
These photographs were made on the morning of Saturday, January 23rd, the day before the grand opening of Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Downtown Tampa. My wife and I have been waiting for this park to open since we moved to a condo across the street about a year ago. They finally opened it to the public and the results are amazing. I don’t have time to write an entire article about the park because we are on our way down to see Mayor Pam Iorio do the dedication and let the kids do all the activities they will have. Enjoy these first images of this great addition to Tampa.
UPDATE: My wife made the comment that these are actually images of the museums and not the park. I think she has a point. This morning (Jan. 25) I went out with my E-P1 and focused more on the park. Those will be posted shortly.
UPDATE 2: The project manager for TMA wrote me to compliment me on my photographs. Now I know I focused too much on the museums! Maybe I should just re-title this post. :)
[...] I knew she was right. (Pardon the ego slip.) I ended up changing the title of that post to “Riverfront Park and Museums.” (Hey, we all make mistakes.) So, as promised, here are the photographs I made on Monday [...]

Yes, it is great what they are doing with the city. And now a high-speed rail to Orlando and the possibility of light rail throughout Tampa. Thank you for your kind words.

I’m not sure what you meant by “project manager”, but Stanley Saitowitz was the designer/architect. I assume you mean someone from his office contacted you.

Neil Kaye (Associate Project Manager from Stanley Saitowitz) who worked on the museum is the one that contacted me. You can find his bio here. He was extremely nice and it was an honor for an amateur like me to get a note from a firm known for such amazing work.
