On 7/26 I got up at the crackka dawn and went directly to Hell. We were scheduled to do a shoot in a junkyard. By the time we got there, however, the mosquito swarms, (who had advance notice of the shoot), formed 3-D images for the camera before each of their 400 attacks. We left the junkyard so fast, that no blood had time to pool where we once stood. The sun was African hot and blinding. Due to the heat, bugs and reptiles that we had to constantly fight off, I simply went on autopilot and shot the whole thing pretty much blind.

BECKONING RUST AT DUSK
Beautiful flowers don’t choose where they live and die. These rusted ruins are still serenaded by generations of beauty and unconditional love.
As the pain of cancer changes life, it brings raw, naked uncertainty to the surface. Helpless against an unknown internal continuum and with the additional constant pain of the chemo cure, all facades fail, letting the beauty of life bud around the scars.

October is better than beer here in Florida! The sky & sea were blue! This 10/2 Riverside shoot yielded an oyster bed and enough blue to put my vocabulary to shame.

MEET THE STAFF
In the middle of the Florida brush, we came across this rusted, ancient citrus processing factory. It had originally been built by Theodore Strawn in 1882. In 1921 the original packinghouse burned. In 1922 this metal structure, with the famous sawtooth roof, was built to replace it. The walls were built from stamped copper alloy panels and were designed to be fireproof. This site was put on the National Register of Historic places in 1993. My composition & angles were extremely limited, because I did the whole shoot through a barbed wire fence, which surrounded the perimeter of the grounds. So the next time you have an orange, think “rust” and be assured of meeting your daily intake of iron!
