Protest At BP Gas Station In Clearwater

Road Trip to Ybor City

Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Roxanne and I love photography, but lately we’ve been visiting a lot of the same areas.

Therefore we decided to take a road trip to Ybor City.
