I just finished taking some pictures of Polk Museum of Art’s event that was held tonight. Atlanta artist Radcliffe Bailey was in town, and the Museum had a small reception for him. The evening started with Todd Behrens, the Curator of Art, asking Radcliffe some questions, and the conversation went from there. Radcliffe was really interesting [...]

We're happy to report that a new contributor has joined with us at Lakeland Local. Photographer Tom Hagerty's work will usually stand alone, but will occasionally illustrate articles. We asked Hagerty for a short paragraph for his bio page:
A pair of images from the Lakeland Strongman competition sponsored by The Chop Shop. Light rain marred watching the weightlifters, but didn't seem to deter the competitors. I'm sure you'll see more, and better, shots by Ledger photographer David Mills. Until then a pair from an amateur.
Sometime in the last couple of days someone placed a couch on the shore at Lake Morton. Actually, it had to be more than one person. That couch is too big for one to carry.
You may know Thomas Hagerty from his USF news, but you'll also like his photographs of the Flying Tigers.
Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
