Stone countertop, Jax Beach

Stone countertop, Jax Beach

It amazes me how rock forms.

Future counter tops, Jax Beach

There is a business, on my Sunday route, that sells all manner of stone. They have columns, benches, tables made of stone. Their main product is counter tops, an ongoing obsession here in america. If I could design the counters in my dream kitchen they would all be chopping block. They lean these great slabs out front. The assumption being that they are so heavy that theft would be too difficult for the return. The types of stone change from week to week so I always have a new set to shoot.

Statue, St. Augustine

 I love to photograph statues. They sit still. They can hold a pose forever. They never complain. And they take the light beautifully. They are great practice for portraits. This little nymph was being hit by very soft light on the second floor of the Cafe Alcazar. The food was great too.
