Mary Lou Heagey Johnson, a Tampa native, will be signing her recently released book, "The Lure of Longboat Key," on Saturday, February 15th 2:00- 4:00pm. at the Oxford Exchange, 420 W. Kennedy Blvd. It sold over 1000 copies during the first 8 weeks.
Mary Lou Johnson, international award winning photographer, has created this "must have" coffee table book. As each page turns, Longboat Key is revealed in this stunning collection of subjects and vistas using light, color, and emotions as powerful components. You feel the Gulf breeze and become a part of each vivid scene. The Lure of Longboat Key ~ Sunrise to Sunset shows what many struggle to say. Public and private collections of her images are in businesses and homes across the United States, Europe, and Canada.
“A talented photographer with a poet’s eye, Mary Lou Johnson has done something rare with The Lure of Longboat Key. She’s captured not just the “real” Florida, but also the magical Florida, the one we see in our dreams and carry in our hearts. Her pictures are tender, honoring fragile details of sea oat, coquina and mist. But they are also majestic, celebrating sunset explosions and cathedrals of clouds. They’re so vivid you will smell the salty air, feel the hot sand between your toes, and hear gulls calling over the fizz of the incoming tide. If you’ve ever lived in Florida, these pictures will take you home again. If you haven’t, this beautiful book is your chance.”— Kathleen O’Brien, author
