south beach, baby!
 

I'm not done editing all the pics but I thought I would start posting them anyway...mostly because I am having fun editing them and can't wait to share them. It's been quite a few months since I have taken photos that make say, 'ahhhh, I like that.' :)

I've given these a little 'Orton-style' affectation because I think it suits the art deco fantasy-theme going on with them.

These are just from the first afternoon, night and following morning. There will be many more to follow.

These next few were taken inside the lobby of our hotel. $89 a night. The Presidential...I think it was. Most of the other rooms we checked were averaging at $289 a night.

the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept on in my life...plus, it became apparent in the middle of the night that you can hear everything, and I mean everything that goes on in the adjoining rooms...kind of made me glad that the boo was with us and therefore we didn't have wild animal sex (like we usually have in hotel rooms, lol)

What neat architecture! Thanks for sharing.

Nice shots overall, loved the architecture but the symmetry of the hallway shot is especially nice. Thanks for sharing these. More. More. More.

Thanks guys!

I'll post more when there are more...only have about 200 more shots to weed through. :p

a few more from the following day...

Beaches are beaches it seems. Looks a lot like Venice in California.

Art decco all over, very nice.

Looks a lot like Puerto Rico too. Thanks for the frozen margarita pangs, mm.

Did you actually go to the beach? Where are the pictures of the ocean? :)

Hahah, that shy cat is pretty awesome!

Nice shots.
