With this body of work (it felt like) I had no choice......it pulled me along the road like a pied-piper,  taking me where it would.  This is a story of a land, of a county within the Heartland of Florida, where few people go  -  as most flock to the two coasts looking for beaches.  It is a story of diverse communities living within the area of a small American town:   the franchised and the disenfranchised bumping up against one another in a strange, unusual, comedic  -  sometimes hilarious  - but harmonious way.  Cowboys,  cattle,  the orange industry,  workers from Mexico - legal,  rodeos,  antiques , closed-down mental institution where some of the inmates wandered into town and never left.  The kindness of people to one another regardless of status.  My first work  -  within this story  -  "Cowboys & Oranges" was just the beginning though I did not know it then.    Here I give you: ARCADIA,  Fla. www.susangeorgettephotography.com
