My clients seem to take perverse pleasure in sending me to the hottest places at the hottest times of the year. So once again I found myself in Miami, Fla., last month, at the beginning of a long trek that would take me the length of Florida, through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and finally back to Georgia.
Rather than fly from project to project, I decided to drive the entire trip once I got to Miami. I did this for two reasons. First it relieves the pressure of having to book flights in advance without knowing how long it will take to photograph each project. And secondly it gives me an opportunity to explore a part of the country I know very little about.
