"Ruins" in Jacksonville, Florida & Portraits

I was raised in Naples, Italy. I'm debating it, but I think I miss the "ruins" more than the food.



The picture above is from our family albums. I miss places like this. History, texture, nature reclaiming the land. There's very little of this in Florida.

Amazing Thrifted Lamp

I finally gave in and bought this gorgeous lamp at a local antique store. I had no idea how awesome it was going to look when I took it to the office, he's the pimp of all fish lamps! I mistook it for a Coelacanth, the most beautiful rediscovered prehistoric fish there ever was, but after closer inspection that's not the case. Either way, he's perking up my office right when I needed a new lamp. And he'll always be a Coelacanth in my eyes.
