It’s the tackiest souvenir/shell shop on the A1A near St. Augustine, Fla. Which means it’s probably the most wonderful souvernir/shell shop in the world. The guy on the porch is actually a dummy, which I think was for sale. Or it was the shopkeeper’s embalmed husband… I should have looked closer I guess, but I was just so amazed at all the other wonderful stuff. Parts of the A1A are actually in danger of erosion from the ever receding shoreline. It will be such a sad day when places like this are no longer.


Shot on Kodak high speed B/W infrared film with a Mamiya 35mm SLR (with manual film advance!), 1/60 sec. at f16, with red filter over the 50 mm lens.

Print scanned on an Epson V500 flatbed scanner to digital, no post processing. See my image Alone On Stilts for more info on shooting with Infrared film.
