The Jesus at Will's… Continue reading The Jesus at Orlando’s Will’s Pub

Last week, I was asked to photograph the opening of Will's Pub new kitchen. Will's, an Orlando live band venue, was usually a booze-only spot. Yet, social distancing rules put a damper on both the live entertainment and the crowds. With fewer money spenders, Will's teamed up with local eatery Swine and Sons. The team… Continue reading The Opening of Will’s Pub In-House Kitchen
