Floridian Stories Assignment


As I think about my final portfolio for the Floridian Stories assignment, I think about compiling a group of images depicting aspects of Florida that have been an essential part of my life until now, in the unique way that I see them. I want to capture the atmosphere of places that have been important to my family and I during my childhood. I want to capture the surroundings of my home, in Miami and here in Gainesville, that most people do not pay attention to. I like to look in the details and examine scenes in a different way than the cursory glance most people give their surroundings. Not only exhibiting the beauty of what’s around me, I also have an interest in capturing photographs of strangers, as well as people I know, In their natural habitat. Capturing how they live in and interact with their environment. What makes them unique and how the Floridian neighborhood they live in contributes to that. Finally, I would like to make an effort to travel to places in Florida that I have yet to see, in order to capture a general ambiance of Florida and analyze how each diverse location with its unique inhabitants connects to one another.
