Found In the USA: Umatilla, FL


I recently went back to my hometown of Umatilla, FL and aside from enjoying the sticky weather, I was able to fiddle around with my new camera and take some pictures of the funny little town I grew up in. When I was younger, Umatilla was just a farm town that was far away from all my friends houses, but as I grow older, I can see why my parents chose to live in the middle of nowhere. I have grown to love the hand painted typography, the run-down orange juice factory in all its Sheeler-like glory, the patterns that presented themselves on my dad's boat, and the overall simplicity that is Umatilla. I am calling this "part 1" because I don't feel like I have done the town justice just yet (I was pressed for time) so stay tuned for part two in the future. Welcome to Umatilla.
