Village of Mayport is a photographer's dream

Rustic shrimping boats tied to docks bob up and down in the breeze. As other fishing boats pull into port, workers on deck fasten nets and scramble to get the day's catch ready to be unloaded onto shore. The historic fishing village of Mayport, as it is now, is a photographer's dream. Especially at sunrise or sunset or when the fog rolls in. But many of the town's long time residents and those who work there worry that one day soon the ambience of the place will be gone, replaced with shiny new large ocean going cruise ships and the passengers they carry. Now is the time for photographers to head to Mayport, to capture it before the tides of time change it forever.
