Photography
Photography has long been a hobby of mine, starting with the disposable point and shoots as a kid and then moving into the digital realm. In college I purchased my first DSLR and have shot 1000's of pictures since! I'm currently using a Canon 30D, and hope to soon be using the 5D Mark II.

Sarasota Chalk Festival 2012
Once again this year (Oct. 28th- Nov. 6th) local artists and artists from around the world traveled to Sarasota to transform South Pineapple Avenue in Burns Square into a walking performance art museum of art history creating street paintings with chalk and paint! The official Chalk Festival website can be found here.
I went to see the chalk on Sunday the last day of the festival. Many artists were putting the final touches on their pieces, and it was very interesting to see their techniques and tools they used to create the art. This year was a circus themed event, many of the pieces were some type of carnival theme. Downtown was packed with thousands of people on a warm November Sunday afternoon.
I think some of the most fun was getting to see the artwork from different perspectives, especially the 3d ones. It was obvious how much skill and technique was required to complete peices like this.
Check out last years Chalk Art here.
Take a look at the photo gallery below of some of the art from that day.
