River of Time Photography

Ed Morykwas has always loved photography and now as a retired teacher he can focus on River of Time Photography in Birmingham, trying to capture moments around the town he loves. He photographs area events include the Birmingham Farmers Market, Hometown Parade and Woodward Dream Cruise.

Morykwas has recently begun to share his work on Birmingham Patch.

"I'm striving to establish myself as 'Birmingham's Photographer,'" he said.

Not only does he share his photos, but also short reviews of area businesses.

He has recently posted about local businesses including What Crêpe? -- A Birmingham Restaurant You Should Visit and This shop is a treat for dog lovers: Teacups & Toys.
