The photographs re-create my own and my friends’ experiences growing up in South Florida in the mid-1970s. “Florida House” is based on true stories, and was shot in Los Angeles using models in period wardrobe and hair. The captions under the photos in the album provide a brief description of each story. These pictures are selections from the larger body of work.
In addition, I have written a 100-page text for “Florida House” that will be excerpted in the prestigious Louisville Review literary magazine in their May issue.
I am a 52 year old U.S. citizen and a professional photographer based in Los Angeles. You may see more of my work, as well as the complete (30 plus images and counting) “Florida House” series, on my site.
