I’ve been keeping this image for quite some time now. Circa 2003 I believe.

I don’t know why, but I just kept it in the ol’ archives knowing that I would like to see it some day on a full page.

While Trevor was still living out at the P’s place in Groveland, FL, he invited me to come shoot this new rail he built. With the notorious storms we get in Florida, the whole drive out to his place I was thinking we wouldn’t get much because of the weather in the area.

But, I wasn’t about to turn around and head home, I was already committed to the hour-long drive.

Without the sun cooperating, I got in the water and shot directly toward it, looking for a silhouette effect.

I put on a orangey filter and put the sun directly in the elbow of the rail. Trevor slid right in there with perfect boardslide form making this the most vivid silhouette I have ever photographed to date.
