Finding Art in Vacated, 'Bohemian' Places

When Richard Carr and Ian White set out to become president and vice president of their 2013-14 senior class at Tampa Catholic, they knew they wanted to infuse the arts into both their platform and their campaign.

That's why the upcoming seniors, who live in Bloomingdale and met in kindergarten at St. Stephen Catholic School, thought long and hard about the settings for their campaign posters.

Earlier this month we posted photographs of these posters at Bloomingdale-Riverview Patch and asked you to consider where the shots were taken.

Now, we post the answers:

• At the vacant Sweetbay supermarket off Bloomingdale Avenue and Bell Shoals Road in Valrico.

• At the Modern Bohemian Art Gallery at Winthrop in Riverview.

"We were looking for a flat area, where we could get that perspective shot," White said in the earlier report. "We wanted it to look like the wall was a road and the road next to it looked like a wall."

For their second shot, the 17-year-olds sought "a cool background to shoot against," White said. "We wanted to give it a good culture look, kind of raw but not too crazy, something everybody could relate to."
