After photographer Thomas Winter’s appearance on this week’s Talkin' Tourism show, there should be no more excuses for less than great vacation photos. In a very straight forward way, Tom gave listeners excellent advice on how to take photos they will be proud to share. Everything from great composition and camera angle, to what to shoot and what to do if you cannot find FujiFilm film (thanks for the call in Will)! Talkin' Tourism fans and listeners will see dramatic improvements in their shots after hearing and practicing the tips Tom shared today.
Rozeta Maboubi, executive director of the Martin County, Florida Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Charlotte Lombard, the tourism coordinator of the St. Lucie County, Florida Tourism Development Council, gave interesting perspectives on the state of tourism here on the Treasure Coast. There is certainly optimism in the air as the summer progresses and the numbers roll in. Some of the big news the two tourism officials shared, involved the Florida Police and Fire Games and the Southern Kingfish Association.
Rounding out today’s broadcast was Gary Roderick, director of Martin County, Florida’s Environmental Services Department. Back in May, Gary Roderick appeared on Talkin' Tourism discussing plans under development on the Treasure Coast in anticipation of the Deep Horizon Oil Disaster impacting our area. Now, 81 days later, what are his thoughts? Did the Gulf of Mexico currents behave as anticipated? Are there still possibilities of our coast receiving tar balls or other effects? Thanks Mr. Roderick for putting this huge issue in its proper perspective.
Thanks to all of our listeners and fans who are checking out the Talkin' Tourism blog. It’s popularity continues to grow every month. What are the top five countries visiting the blog? Download the show and you'll learn, Talkin' Tourism has truly gone global!
'See' you next week. Same time (10 a.m. every Friday), same station (WPSL 1590 AM or www.wpsl.com), and same place (?). That last statement is extremely questionable!
Special thanks to show sponsors the Martin County, Florida Convention and Visitors Bureau and Coastal Angler Magazine!
Vacations, whether a cruise to Alaska, bareboating in the Caribbean, a trip to Europe or a stay-cation close to home, are all memorable moments in time that we want to capture in photos. Often, Talkin' Tourism has heard disappointment from friends and family when the trip photos are finally viewed once back home. Whether you pursue photography as a serious hobby or are the consummate amateur, this week Talkin' Tourism on Florida’s Treasure Coast will help you solve that problem.
How is the summer visitor season going on the Treasure Coast? Rozeta Maboubi, the executive director of the Martin County, Florida Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Charlotte Lombard, the tourism coordinator of the St. Lucie County, Florida Tourist Development Council, will let listeners and stakeholders know if we are making progress in this tough economy.
The Deep Horizon Oil Disaster has been on everyone’s mind since the event took place April 20, 2010. The Gulf Coast region and the Florida Panhandle have taken the brunt of the burden, but how is the rest of Florida being affected? Have Treasure Coast preparations evolved as time marches forward? Gary Roderick from the Martin County Department of Environmental Services and a representative from St. Lucie County Public Services will be in the studio for Friday's show to share the latest.
Tune in this Friday, July 9, at 10 a.m. for another fun-filled, informative hours. If located on the Treasure Coast, tune your radio dial to WPSL 1590 AM. Someplace else in the world? You can still catch the show's live audio stream via Internet connection at www.wpsl.com!
History Lady and Radio Man are looking forward to seeing you this Friday LIVE, once again, from the Elliott Museum on Hutchinson Island, Stuart, Florida.
