One more month to Paradise!

The opening reception for “A Peculiar Paradise: Florida Photographs” is just one month away, 6 – 8 pm, November 8, at HistoryMiami Museum.

The black&white photo of the guy in a rented tuxedo is yours truly, Leica M2 in hand, photographing in Palm Beach in 1972. My fellow students at North Miami High may remember me as the boy taking snaps for the 1968 Pioneer yearbook. After high school I worked summers for The Miami News and Palm Beach Post-Times while attended Miami-Dade College and the University of Miami. I still have Leicas and the Rolex forty-eight years later, but far less facial hair.

HistoryMiami’s exhibition is comprised of photographs that I took in Florida for National Geographic Magazine, where I was a photographer from 1972 until 1991. I took most of the pictures in 1981, a year notorious for Miami’s drug-fueled crime wave and influx of undocumented immigrants. The photographs express my affection for the state’s quirky aspects while providing unvarnished documentation of the complex realities of Florida in transition.

We finished printing the last of the 95 Florida photographs last week in preparation for the exhibit, which will be on display at HistoryMiami’s 3000 square foot Center for Photography at 101 West Flagler until April 14, 2019.

The 200-page exhibition catalog, published by PowerHouse Books, is currently available for pre-order from Amazon for $31.42, a great discount off the $49.95 list price.
