"I hate graffiti"

"I hate graffiti." - Taylor, age 12

This photo is from the Children's Photography Workshop that I teach at FMoPA. A young girl in the class commented on the graffiti scribbled on the sculptural piece outside of the Sykes building in downtown Tampa, "I hate graffiti". 

For some reason it impacted me. 

Tampa is for Hookers...?

For fun, sometimes, I like to play with google image. Sometimes I'll catch myself searching the strangest things out of sheer boredom. Today I decided to google image cities in the U.S. Most of my results were beautiful landscapes of downtown, often at night to showcase the city in a twinkle of lights. When I typed in Tampa, Florida this was my result. 

Tampa through the eyes of Google Image: sun, fun, and scantly clad women

I guess this is just a warning, ladies. I'm all about liberation of the body, but be aware of the photographic opportunities that may present themselves.
