Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park
The first set I did of the park consisted mostly of images depicting the new Tampa Museum of Art and the unfinished Glazer Children’s Museum. When my wife pointed this out I scoffed. But when a project manager at the architecture firm for TMA emailed me about my wonderful photographs of their museum, 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 morning of the park grounds. If they look a little HDRish it’s because I’m still getting used to the low dynamic range of the Olympus E-P1. Although I shoot in raw, the images have less range and data to work with than raw files from my Nikon D300.
On a related note, I was called a “normal ass citizen” by skater and fellow Skypoint resident Rob Meronek. Thanks for the link on your blog Rob and it’s nice to meet you too. (By the way, there is a photo of you holding your camera in Stalker Steve’s post. What the fuck happened to the front of your grip?) Anyway, check out Rob at skateparkoftampa.com and if you didn’t see my post of the grand opening, you can find it here.
UPDATE: A photograph of the playground was accidentally omitted from this post when originally published. It is now the 6th image below.
