A REAL ADVENTURE

My work continues to explore the ecological "tug of war" between our natural environment and our nation's military. These bases are often critical to providing security for our country but there is a cost to the local ecosystem. This continues to be exacerbated by local businesses that edge closer and closer to these installations.

My continued journey to explore this complicated issue by using photography to highlight

the juxtaposition of natural beauty alongside our military's might. 

Below are my two completed works:

My next trip will be to further explore these three transmission towers located right off the coast of Blount Island (see photo below) where a Marine Corps logistics base is located. My professor recommended I rent a boat and head out to get the shot that I might otherwise not be able to capture.

The issue now is what kind of watercraft to rent. A kayak? Canoe? Or a motorboat? It is at least 1/2 a mile across the St. Johns River but with other boating traffic a smaller craft might not be the best bet for all of my gear. This is my biggest hurdle to cross but I like the idea that this might just become a real adventure. I'll definitely film the water crossing for my next post.
