Our Navarre community is filled with talented, creative and smart people. Two weeks ago, we had a feature on one of our “famous” local photographers, John Starrett, whose remarkable eye and timing makes him one of the best in Northwest Florida and beyond. Another such photographer we are so blessed to have here in Navarre is Jeff Waldorff. You can find him on the front page of this issue. His photos adorn many homes and businesses in Navarre and all over the country. Two of his photos were selected recently for the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s 2025 Sea Turtle Calendar. We congratulate him on the selection. Both photographers are awe-some and we are so grateful for their talent.
