Family Photography Session in Homestead Florida

I recently had the privilege to photograph a wonderful family at Homestead Bayfront National Park. We arrived very early to benefit from the beautiful light. It was cold but all the wonderful smiles warmed up the place. Great people to work with very willing to pose and give their best to the shoot.  Here are a couple of shots from the many that we took that morning. Afterwards my assistant [my daughter] and myself were treated to a delicious meal at Cracker Barrel were we spent a great time of just chewing the fat. Not that the food was full of fat it just a saying.

Anderson’s Corner Store 2011


I passed the other day with my children by the Library in Homestead, Florida on Campbell Drive and US 1. As I entered the building I noticed a photograph displayed on one of the walls. It got my attention because it was the image of a famous landmark here in South Florida. It turns out that this building had been added to the national register of historic places back in the late 70’s. But as I close to the photograph to my surprise I read the name of the artist who captured this image, William Maguire my old photography teacher at Florida International University. His image shows the building  when still shined and stood as a solid structure but now it has been totally abandoned and has become the home of chickens and other animals. I took the time a few weeks ago since I live close by to do a study of the building. I was looking for the light early in the morning hitting the wood panels and the beams and such things. As I walked around the building I discovered more and more details, abandoned machinery and wildlife. Here are some of the images from that small trip of discovery.

Sunrise

The incredible power of one image to active the memory of an event, of a moment in life. The image above to most viewers is a simple one, just a girl on a boat looking at the sun. To most viewers it would seem just that. But for those involved in that moment, it becomes much more. It brings into remembrance the many factors that where involved; the water with its movement, its smell, its color. It brings into remembrance that wonderful moment of seeing the sunrise at 6:30 am with its magnificent light over the water. Of chasing the birds hoping that they are on top of a school of bait fish signifying that there are dolphin or tuna underneath. The sound of the powerboat engines with its propellers cutting into and pushing the water causing the craft to move eastward to open water, towards a place where man becomes lost by the immense ocean. A place where even the largest of vessels fight the currents and waves to arrive at their destinations. The expectation of the moment that will not come back, you can try to replicate it yes of course, but this moment is lost forever into the memory of our minds and into a bit of information store in the hard drive of a laptop.

The fleeting moment as with all of life events can truly never be duplicated, all that we are left with is small souvenirs locked in our memory which requires  a catalyst, a key if you will, to bring back all that was involved in that long gone moment. Nothing like a photograph to help in retrieving those precious memories of one’s life. That was my goal in taking this image, to create that bit of information that could be store be it on a computer or as something more tangible be it an album or hanging on a wall. It is not a perfect image technically, of course I know that but that is not the intention. I was not looking for that, I wanted a small button to active my memory of when the future comes and I want to remember my little girl I can look at this image. I will remember the dolphins we found, the smiles, the expressions on our faces, and of course my daughter whispering into my ear with a challenging attitude towards me and the rest of us on the boat “my where the biggest”. All eleven years of her defying us to do better.

Wow that is what this image will bring back and more. It is very personal, but is also what been a photographer is about. Helping others create those catalysts for the future, the buttons, that they will push in the future to bring into life the memories of today.
