In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.

Festival of the Masters
Each year in November, usually the second week of the month, (and picture perfect weather) a plethora of artists gather to show their best! . . Paintings, Sculpture, Watercolor, Glass, Wood, Chalk Art, Jewelry and Photography. They are deemed Masters of what they do best. The three day show converges on Downtown Disney just south of Orlando, Florida and can be enjoyed by all for free. Meet the artists, buy their work, stroll around a large outdoor exhibit. It is always marked on my calendar and I have been going for several years in a row. I wanted to blog about it so that others may know and appreciate that it is indeed a Festival of The Masters.

Deland, Florida /Stetson University
DeLand, Florida is a quaint, demure Florida River-town founded in 1876 by Henry Addison DeLand, a business man from New York. It is home to Stetson University and is Florida's oldest private school and located right in the center of DeLand. The University has several buildings that date back to the 1870's that have been restored through the years and represent some of Florida's best examples of Stucco Mediterranean Revival Architecture. Recently restored is the Athens Theatre built in 1921 used to show silent films of the century. I had the opportunity to stroll through the campus and downtown area filled with shops and enjoyed photographing the scenes and sights of the day. DeLand is located approximately 34 miles north of Orlando and is well worth a road trip. By the way you will be very close to De Leon Springs State Park and New Smyrna Beach - two wonderful places for capturing pictures.
