Behind the Lens

When I made this photograph, I was simply drawn to the contrast between the roller coaster, the beach, and the warm evening light.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was photographing the final chapter of a ride with a long history. Originally built in 1969, the Sand Blaster operated at several amusement parks before eventually finding its home on the Daytona Beach Boardwalk. Shortly after this photograph was taken, it was removed, making this image a small piece of Daytona Beach history.

Printed on archival fine art paper for a softer, more traditional presentation. Available unframed for those who prefer to choose their own framing.

A dimensional presentation with the canvas visually separated from the surrounding frame, giving the photograph a substantial, contemporary presence.
