My name is Vincent. I am a native of the north; Michigan specifically and was uprooted at a fairly young age to the Sunshine State (Florida). I have been longing for the winters I grew up with for over a decade now. This is a photograph of a project I have been working on that I will be titling "Christmas in Florida Is in Black and White".
I do understand this image isn’t the typical "winter" look but that is the point of this project. The landscape here is often uninspiring considering the lack of seasons, and this unfortunately is my Winter.
Be careful what you wish for... many of us cold-climate people would love to be outdoors at this time of year without a shirt, lying on or near a beach with palm trees.
I completely understand. The cold is not for everyone, the heat is not for everyone. I still haven’t adjusted after all these years.
