 Matthew Mazzotta Art,

Known for stalking front lawns in plastic form as much as they wade through the shallows of Everglades National Park, Biscayne Bay, or the Keys, pink flamingos are practically synonymous with Florida. Around the turn of the 20th century, however, native populations were decimated due to overhunting. Although residents later began to foster captive colonies, of the estimated 260,000 to 330,000 mature birds worldwide, Florida is thought to accommodate only about one percent of them.

For the artist, the iconic avian and the importance of sharing space with wildlife inspired a monumental, immersive installation at Tampa International Airport.

So as not to bury this in the notes…

I know it’s been more than 6 months since the latest chapter of Pipe Dreams was published, but I swear to you I didn’t abandon it. I’m currently working on Chapter Three and thought I’d preview a scene from it.

Hope you enjoy!

Hello, Biscayne National Park! by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: This image captures a setting to the northwest with a view beyond some nearby mangroves to the waters of Biscayne Bay. I captured this image while walking along a boardwalk at the Dante Fascell Visitor Center. In composing this image, I used an opening through the mangroves to create a desired depth of field, emphasizing the distant groves and island/keys. The rest of the image was metering to avoid overexposing the highlights in the far-off areas while still being able to pull out the shadowed details in the foreground through post-production adjustments.
