eNewsletter for the residents of Indigo at Lakewood Ranch September 2021
C o n n e c t W i t h Yo u r C o m m u n i t y
Community Hello Indigo Owners and Residents, Thank you to CEPRA and the Board for assisting management with the landscape town hall presentation on August 31, 2021. A copy of the presentation is uploaded on the Indigo HOA website at Indigo.accessdifference.com for your future reference. We hope that everyone found the presentation helpful and has a better understanding of what is included in the HOA landscaping scope of work. I would like to remind everyone about our Governing Documents and the Architectural Review (ARC) guidelines for the community. It is important that all owners understand the ARC process. For any exterior modification, owners must submit an ARC application form and the supporting documents required prior to beginning any construction or modification. A complete package will assist the committee to grant ARC approval. The following documents are required when submitting the ARC Request: Application, Lot Survey with changes, Contractor Proposal, supporting documents and pictures. It is important that owners submit all parts of the application as the application and approval remain with the lot, even after a resale. When homeowners sell their home, it is important that the owner and association have the proper record on file if there were questions on the granted approval. Indigo Insider Newsletter September 2021 2
If you are installing a pool or an item that will affect the irrigation lines, a
$1,000.00 refundable deposit is required. As these deposit checks are received
at our office, they are cashed. These checks are not held at the office until the
project is completed. Once construction has been completed, please
contact the HOA manager directly to inspect the install. Once the
modifications have been reviewed satisfactorily, the Access Management
accounting department will issue the reimbursement check.
Once completed, ARC packages ready to be reviewed can be sent via email
to indigo@accessdifference.com or by mail to Indigo HOA c/o Access
Management at 2970 University Parkway, Suite 101, Sarasota FL 34243. Please
keep in mind that approvals may take up to 4 weeks to be granted. The ARC
Application and Design Guidelines are posted on the website at
indigo.accessdifference.com under the Resource Tab.
If you have any questions regarding the ARC process, or any HOA related
matters or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at
ldenenholtz@accessdifference.com or 813-607-2220.
Warm Regards,
Laurie Denenholtz, LCAM

Travelers Tales
Away we go! Interesting snapshots from resident travelers.
The Still Life by Ron Mayhew
The pandemic has provided me the opportunity to indulge in an aspect of photography that I have
been interested in for a long while. Namely, still life photography. The Dutch Master Painters of the
seventeenth century are among my favorites. And their still life paintings delight and inspire me.
The way they “paint the light’, their use of color, and their attention to detail are masterful.
I often thought I would like to emulate their still life art through photography, but with our busy
lives, I never made the time. The pandemic changed that. Trips canceled, family visits delayed,
social life put on hold. Suddenly, I had the gift of time. Time to indulge my creative spirit. The
garage became my photography studio. I could be found haunting flea markets and salvage places,
with mask and sanitizer in hand, accumulating a few props. After studying several seventeenth-
century still life painters' work, and reading about the imagery and meaning of the paintings, I was
ready.
Creating the tableau, or set, is the most challenging and creative aspect of the process. Just like the
Grand Masters, I gather and arrange the props, while considering the colors and textures of the
composition. Then, I arrange the lighting, a combination of strobes and reflectors for a dramatic
Caravaggio effect. After several test shots and tweaks, I make the final photograph. Now, the image
is downloaded from my camera to my computer for some final cropping and color adjustments.
Having made over a hundred still life images in the course of the pandemic, I feel I’m just beginning
to explore this aspect of photography. And people are showing an interest. I am selling some prints
to collectors. My works have been exhibited in galleries in New York City, Minneapolis, Middlebury,
VT, Greenville, SC, and Budapest, Hungary.
Most recently five of my images are currently being shown at the Photoville FENCE exhibition at
Benderson Park in Sarasota. Photoville FENCE is an annual juried photography exhibit featuring
over 85 photographers from around the world. The event tours several cities around the country
including Atlanta, New Orleans, Seattle, Durhan, Houston, Brooklyn, Calgary, and others.

Indigo residents Jan Holt and Carolyn Resnik
started a "Team Indigo" for the Alzheimer's
Walk this year. It will be held in Sarasota on
Saturday, November 20 at Sarasota’s Ed Smith
stadium.
People can also join the team and walk
wherever they would like. Jan and Carolyn set
a goal for Team Indigo to raise $2,000.
To register to be on the team go to:
act.alz.org/sarasota-manatee and search for
"Team Indigo". There is no fee to register or
join the team.
Each person can recruit family and friends to
sponsor them. This is the official walk of the
Alzheimer's Association. Let's walk to honor
the memory of our loved ones we lost to
Alzheimer's and to help end this
disease.
