Description
NIGHT OF THE WARRIOR
A Man O' War glows next to a mysterious conch shell on Fort Lauderdale Beach as a boat travels the waters in the distance. The Portuguese Man O' War is named after it's resemblance to 18th century Portuguese warships at full sail. It is propelled by it's sail and drifts along the ocean at the mercy of the winds and currents. Whenever I see a Man O' War on the beach I can't help but wonder at all the places it has been.
For this photograph I wanted to do something different so I brought along an old conch shell that I've had for years. It has an opening in the side and I thought it would be a cool shot to have light coming from inside the shell and shining through the opening. I used a flashlight for the shell and a small maglite behind the Man O' War to make it appear as if it was glowing from within.
