Longboat Key is situated to the north of Lido Key and expands up the coast with amazing views on either side of the Key. The Key is relatively narrow: to the east is the skyline of Sarasota and to the west is the Gulf of Mexico. Sometimes you feel as if you are immersed in the Gulf itself. It is one of my favorite spots to catch the sunsets. It stretches along the Gulf with great natural settings. I really enjoy this key with such a quiet, relaxed, and upscale atmosphere.
In 2006 I was privileged to receive a commission from the general manager of Longboat Key Club to capture the paradise in their resort. My work is displayed throughout the main lobby of the hotel as well as the locker rooms on the harbor side golf club. Longboat Key Club was the first public display of my photography and has been a major inspiration. Having worked in the hospitality industry, I know that guests are looking for that true feeling of paradise when they arrive at a tropical destination. My personal goal is to expand this concept to hotels and resorts all over the world.
A Slice of Paradise......
