Christmas Books #5 – Over Florida

My first aerial book was shot in the early nineties. Over Florida is look at the beauty and destruction of my native state.  Noted Florida environmental activist Marjory Stoneman Douglas wrote the forward.  Mark Derr, the writer for the book and I had the honor to visit Ms. Douglas at her home in Coconut Grove.  What a treat. She was gracious and elegant and even in her early 100′s was a fierce defender of the environment in Florida. The primary pilot for the book, Lisa Tarhan, photographed Mark, Ms. Douglas and I together for the inside back cover of the book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since the books are sold from resellers the prices range (with condition) from dirt cheap to very expensive. New Copies of Over Florida are selling for twice the list price.  

A few images from the book were included in a Communication Arts Photo Annual.

If you buy a copy of any of my books, let me know and I’ll sign it for you.
