Riverland Project2004--0-1-T05: 1:4:-08:00This is, for now, the home of "The Riverland Project." I live in the part of Fort Lauderdale known as Riverland Village, and am busy photographing my neighborhood.
Many of the photos will be modified with Photoshop.

It's won recognition from the city for "urban environmental design," is nationally recognized as a "water landmark site" by the American Water Works Association, treats 20 million gallons of water a day... and is only a few blocks away from my house.
