As soon as I got back from my AYCJ trip, I got a call from the property director for the corporation for whom I was working until the end of July when I lost my position. They were still working on grants and hoping to at some point find another full-time position for me, however in the meantime, they wanted to hire me for a particular consulting job. The company had 1800+ housing units throughout a two dozen properties around the state. Only one or two people in the company had ever actually been to all, or even most, of the sites, so they wanted me to visit each on and take photographs of the interior and exterior areas of each place and even some portraits of residents for potential future use. So within a few days of getting back, I was on the road once more, this time on a job to shoot pictures around the state. I had to visit most of the major cities in the state including Gainesville, Lake City, Jacksonville, Cocoa Beach, Miami, Sebring, Ft. Meyers, Ft. Lauderdale, and multiple sites around Tampa and Clearwater. It was actually kind of fun to get the chance to use some of my skills and provide the service.
Though I cannot post any of those pictures here due to NDA and copyright retained by the client, but I was able to take a little bit of time between driving stints and take some shots of roadside Florida. I was able to visit Ft. Caroline National Monument to get my park passport stamp for that site and even get in a training run with the local H3 group in Ft. Lauderdale. To add to the adventure a bit I used the little tear drop trailer for sleeping so I could be on site at first light whenever possible in order to get the best shots outside. The new wide angle lens I picked up a few months ago was excellent for getting inside pictures without having to deal with stitching things together and the resulting ghosting artifacts.
