Orange Crush (2012-Present)
Orange Crush is an ongoing series of photographs that illuminate Florida people I know, Florida people I’ve met, Florida landscape, and Florida still life.
After living in South Florida for thirteen years, I never tire of the ripe mango colored light, the rotting wood frame houses entwined in golden pothos vines, the deserted vehicles that litter the lawns, and the curious and impassioned people who reside in the sunshine state. These images are a testament to my love of the land, the people, and the wildlife that reside in this delicate, enigmatic, and complex state.
“But some parts of Florida are filled with real magic. You just have to keep your eyes open. Ah, for the mermaids of Weeki Wachee…Follow me, this way.”—Neil Gaiman, American Gods
Orange Crush is a series of archival pigmented prints made from medium format color negatives.
