It’s one of my most photographed spots in our historic district – the Nassau County Courthouse. I’ve been honored to have my award-winning photograph hang “forever” inside the courthouse along with about fifty others as part of an exhibition of images and paintings of our beloved landmark. Each image was personally selected by the Honorable Judge Robert M. Foster, Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit Court here in Nassau County (Florida).
‘On the Courthouse Steps’ – June 2018
One of the many images of our historic courthouse that I’ve taken over the years.
Thanks for stopping by and many thanks to Judge Foster! – Chris

Our new airport terminal building is now “officially” open.
It’s been fun documenting the construction of this building starting back in early January of this year (2018). I think that all involved did an outstanding job.
The Corsair has landed!

Poor man’s T* Series with Zeiss lenses (I’m pretty sure these lenses are Zeiss without the coating).
Not much control over this camera – it was designed to take pictures without much fuss – and do it well.
It says Yashica lens but I’m sure it’s a Zeiss – why wouldn’t it? By the way, the 32mm f/3.5 lens is as fast as the other T* Series lenses – with the exception of the Kyocera T Scope (Japanese market T3) which is f/2.8
Good condition Yashica L AF’s are not common on online auction sites but nice ones still go for less than $40 or so. This nearly mint one went for $20!
Sharp contrasty lens – quick but not super quick AF but excellent auto exposure – perfect pics nearly every shot!
Images were taken on Fujicolor Superia color negative film. No post-production on any of these outside pics.
Headed our way from Japan!
Thanks for stopping by!

The Fujica GW690 Professional 6×9 120/220 roll film camera – 1970s tech never looked so good!
This beast will eat through film like it’s candy! 8 exposures from a roll of film but oh how pretty the pics are!
Thanks for stopping by! A big thanks to the City of Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Florida for hardly changing since 1890!

Former residential property is now commercially zoned along a quiet stretch of Sadler Road here on Amelia Island. With proper tree protection zones established around the massive oaks on the front of the property, these trees may make it through the construction process – but as you can see in this image, destruction is in progress with NO tree protection barriers in place! Soil is also being dumped over the existing grade which tends to suffocate the tree’s root system.
These 5 beautiful oaks need immediate protection from the destruction-construction process. The City of Fernandina Beach has tough tree protection ordinances on the books but at this moment, it would appear that some of those codes may have been broken. Stay tuned!
