Don Jones is another of the Florida photographers whose work mirrors some of my own preoccupations, e.g., a love for old abandoned buildings and Florida's weird and entrancing blend of the old and nearly forgotten with not only the new but also the strange and futuristic. This collection of Florida imagery needs that blend. It's what Florida really IS.
Here's Orlando---the
ultimate generic city if you don't know where to look---looking
anything but. "Downtown Orlando at 4:30AM on a foggy night," said the
photographer. That's right: 4:30 am. Another thing about photographers who create art that mirrors life is that they know you have to be there at the right moment and that the right moment chooses itself.
