Congrats to the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series! I’m not a big Cubs fan, but they are one of my few favorite MLB team I will root for since my father and I went to many games at Wrigley Field when I was younger. Now for what this post is really about, photographing Chicago.
After a perfect 0-12 season, the UCF Knights have made an infinite improvement by winning their home opener against South Carolina State 38-0! The real game for UCF this season is winning an invitation to join the Big XII. Joining a major conference not only means a lot for the athletic program, but the university as a whole. For some amazing reason, even academic reputation is influenced (insert SEC joke here). So… Read More
As I am sure none of you noticed, there was almost a full month between blog posts of November and December. Again, as I am almost positive you did not wonder why, I will tell anyway. I was in the process of closing and moving into my wife and I’s first house together and thus other priorities took over. We are now more or less “moved in” and I feel it’s time… Read More
First, let me say that this was a post I have been meaning to do awhile ago with the title “Pray for Detroit”. Then as I am sure you all aware, ISIS attacked Paris (subject of as post) and #PrayforParis became viral. So, I made the decision to hold off for awhile. I should point out that prayers for Detroit (explained below), are not meant to take anything away from the tragedies… Read More
Let me just start by saying that this one blog post I had not planned on writing. But given recent events, I felt this is the only one I could write. Paris is a beautiful city filled with amazing people. To be subject to such an act of terror is as unthinkable as can be in this modern world.
Thinking of getting away soon? Why not Visit Orlando!!! Yes, Orlando is where I reside so this advice for you, not me. If you choose to come to the City Beautiful you will probably be helping to make history. What do I mean? Well, Orlando was the #1 travel destination in the United States in 2014 and I think we will surpass that record in 2015. And for you sport fans, we… Read More
I took this photo during an early morning market tour of Harmony Florida located in just outside of Orlando in Osceola County. Sadly, I was not playing golf that, just doing market familiarization research. Harmony is an interesting town. It is far from the center of “town” (closest city is St. Cloud) but built using many elements of Traditional Neighborhood Design (mixed densities, close lot lines, back alleys for parking, parks built into… Read More
This is my last and final post regarding Toronto, and it has very little to with Toronto. Today, I’m talkin’ Baseball! Yes, baseball is considered America’s Pastime and is most certainly one of the most iconic American sports there is. I grew up a baseball fan because my dad was a huge baseball fan (New York Met fan no less!). We bonded by going to many games together. When we traveled, we… Read More
Today is October 21st, 2015, the day Marty McFly piloted his flying DeLorean from thirty years into the future from 1985. If you were alive in the 80’s or 90’s you must at least be aware of the Back To The Future film franchise if not a significant fan. There are many articles about where BTTF got it right and got it wrong about what life would be like to day. Well,… Read More
