3 Amigos  by soboy5

3 Amigos

After a wonderful trip to Sandestin, I returned home for two nights and then left for Apalachicola, Florida with friends for a four day photoshoot. Although it is only two hours east of Sandestin, Apalachicola is worlds apart - the town is a working fishing village, not a tourist destination. Today starts my Facebook five day black and white challenge and I'll show five mono images in a row from Apalachicola - this will be a preview of the much longer color series I have in store for you all.

The story behind 3 Amigos - we were leaving the best oyster bar I've ever been to (Apalachicola Bay is where 90% of Florida oysters are harvested) and while my friends were boarding their boat (nothing like arriving at an oyster bar by boat), I saw these three fellas posing for me and grabbed the Nikon for a quick shot of them. Looks nice on black.
