Find my photos on Egmont Key!

Egmont Key is a small barrier island on the mouth of Tampa Bay just southwest of Fort Desoto State Park. It can only be reached by ferry or private boat and is home to the ruins of Fort Dade, a lighthouse and a collection of gopher tortoises. This is an exquisite place for photography! Inaccessible to motor vehicles the island remains uninhabited by all but resident park rangers. The lone photographer often has the entire island all to him- or herself.

In support of my photographic endeavours, and those of fellow artisans, The Egmont Key Alliance (EKA) is a local organization whose role is the preservation of the natural and historical aspects of Egmont Key. They have allowed a small number of locals to exhibit our artwork for sale on select Island Days, in the Old Radio Room. Proceeds from the sales benefits EKA's efforts. These fundraising art sales culminate with the EKA's annual Discover the Island Fundraiser, in November. During this fundraiser one of my favorite shots of The Egmont Key Lighthouse will be available on auction.

For more information please visit EKA's Website.

Selected works of art available for sale in the Radio Room.
