Chapter 2 — Florida Landscapes & Cityscapes

Florida was where I learned to read light. The coastlines, storms, neon reflections, and humid atmosphere taught me how to anticipate transitions and recognize the moments between moments. This chapter reflects a growing confidence — in instinct, timing, and the ability to respond to whatever the environment offered.
