I
am trying to photograph subjects that don't necessarily include the
mud, the beach, the ocean or other water. It's not easy, but in this
season at least, clouds simply demand attention. As I've written,
clouds are Florida's mountains. They are always different and often
compelling! At least one of these two photographs is 'dry'. ;-) (Film and #15 deep yellow filter)

The flow of water at Dutton Island ebbed at 9:30 this morning and began
the slow process of refilling the marshes. I was there with still hot
coffee and high expectations. Not a soul was where I wanted to be. After
three years here, I don't find the Florida August heat as oppressive as I
used to though it's still a lot more tolerable in the mid morning than
later in the day. It's nice to have a few reliable places
not far from home that like to have their picture taken and will do
their best to look good for the occasion. (Film)

Every time I photograph in the marshes, there are scores of fishermen in
the way both aesthetically and physically. (I know, I know...they can
work in a photograph too!). After three years here, though, I've finally
discovered how to eliminate them without violence. Take the camera out
at low tide! There's no water for the fish and, hence, no
fishermen. Besides the wet mud is much more visually appealing than the
water at higher tide. This is Dutton Island Preserve adjacent to the
Intracoastal (that most people pronounce "intercoastal"...dopey
rabbits!). I've made a number of photographs here that I rather like. (Film)

The weather has been what you'd expect in Florida in July....HOT!! But, my state park pass lured me to go to the beach because the sky was so interesting. Happily, there was a pleasant breeze and cooler temperatures near the water so I didn't suffer very much. Still....October will be a lot nicer. These are views from Little Talbot Island SP.
