I traced the Ocklawaha to its meeting point with the St. Johns River. But instead of an ending, I found a deeper connection.

I joined Captain Erika Ritter on the Anhinga Spirit to visit the places she knew before the dam. Together, we explored forgotten springs and talked about the river’s future.

Jenny and I journeyed through the Middle Ocklawaha River, uncovering Florida’s wild beauty and the history that lingers around every bend.

On the upper Ocklawaha, I saw two versions of the river: one shaped by nature, the other by human hands. The contrast felt personal.

I’ve been curious about the people who support the Kirkpatrick Dam, so I coordinated a tour on the Rodman Reservoir with local resident Harvey McGuire.

I planned to visit Ray Wayside Park but ended up at the Eureka Bridge. This post looks at the bridge and the overlooked structures that shape the Ocklawaha River.

I followed the Ocklawaha River from State Road 19 in Palatka, Florida, to the County Road 316 Bridge in Eureka, tracing the route of the long abandoned Cross Florida Barge Canal project. This is the first in what I hope becomes a series dedicated to the Ocklawaha River.

The Ocala National Forest was recently listed on National Geographic’s Best of the World 2025, a list compiling the 25 best places in the world to visit. Jenny and I drove our Kayaks to Silver Springs State Park, located in the Ocala National Forest, and paddled the Silver River.

I spent the summer shooting exclusively on Kodak Gold 200 and my Hasselblad 500cm.

I sold my Leica M6 and have been working primarily with the Fujifilm X100V. This post is all about change.

I spent two days camping in the Florida Everglades with my Fuji X100V.

We kayak camped along the Ocklawaha River in a storm while sick.
