CAYO COSTA DRIFTWOOD 2 © 2015Barrier Island, Gulf Coast
Situated on a barrier island on Florida’s western coastline, Cayo Costa Island State Park can only be reached by boat or ferry. During one visit, I spotted a tree washed ashore and felt compelled to capture it in a photograph. The ideal perspective was from a very low position, so I crouched down to shoot from an angle at ground level. Luckily, I was using a digital camera at the time. This shot would have been unattainable with my large-format camera. The most challenging part of that shot was getting back up!
