Mark Renz - Florida Time Forgot Photography

January 2011

Hola friends and friendly strangers!

Welcome to another issue of Florida Time Forgot, an an extension of Fossil Expeditions and an on-going collection of Marisa's great art and my quirky photo stories from the wilds of Florida.

Scroll down to see her painting of Meg, the giant shark that graces the cover of our book, "MEGALODON: Hunting the Hunter". You're also welcome to click open my pics and see where they lead you. My music video, "The Visitor", stars Marisa in a misleading role, reminding us not to believe everything we see. I shot the photos in several wild Florida locations and the addictive Native American music was written and performed by flutist/guitarist Annette Abbondanza. Type in her name on Youtube for more of her songs.

Just like last month, we are not selling anything in this newsletter. Instead, we have another surprise gift for you. It's a small, inspirational PDF book called Saving the Sun for a Rainy Day. I was moved to assemble some of my photos and create the captions for my sister Cheryl and her husband Tommy. As of this writing, Cheryl remains in critical condition in Lee Memorial Hospital here in Fort Myers, fighting cancer. Tommy has always been a loving and supportive husband, but in the past few months, he has risen to a title somewhere between Superman and Saint. He is physically and emotionally there for her at every possible moment and trying to fill her every need. This book is for them.

Bestus,

Mark and Marisa Renz
