In 2019, Lulu was this beautiful blue VW bus and was a photo studio on the final night of the Automattic Grand Meetup in Florida that year.

An empty street in Seaside
This is something you won’t see often in The Truman Show, it’s an empty street.
It’s not the same road as the one with the traffic jam in the movie, but it’s similar. It’s surreal walking around the town of Seaside in Florida after seeing The Truman Show.

The Diagon Alley Singer
In the Diagon Alley section of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” in Florida we were entertained by singers and dancers. This woman was first out but she was soon joined by others to sing for us.

A Florida Dragonfly
Behind the town of Seaside in Florida lies a lake which no doubt contributes to the humidity during the day there.
Early one morning I photographed this dragonfly resting on the fence on a small pier on the lake. The air was still cool, so the dragonfly was probably still sluggish until the day warmed up.

Capturing Seaside’s Sunrise Splendor
In Seaside, Florida, a photowalk in September is best enjoyed in the early morning to avoid the oppressive humidity and heat that sets in later in the day. But the silver lining is that this early start allows us to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico, casting a golden glow on the pristine white sandy beach nearby.

The Truman House
A sign outside a home in Seaside, Florida, tells the curious passer-by, “The Truman House”. It was used as the home where Truman Burbank lived in the film, The Truman Show.
The house itself sits at 31 Natchez Street in Seaside. I didn’t see anyone about, but then again I walked past at around 8am in the morning before the oppressive heat of the day got too bad.

A Metal Flag with Heart
The Stars & Stripes made from corrugated metal outside someone’s house in Seaside Florida. I guess it was a child’s project, especially with the heart attached to it.
It was so rusted then, I doubt it’s still there now, 13 years later!

Sunset at Seaside
It was the end of another sweltering day at Seaside, Florida. The sun was setting in a blaze of glory. The sky was on fire with dramatic rays of orange and pink, and the clouds were playing their part perfectly.
I spotted a swimmer going into the water, and she made for a nice silhouette on a fiery evening.

Singing at the A8CGM
At the Automattic Grand Meetup in 2018 the company hired out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter which was an amazing evening. Lots of over priced merchandise but also a fire breathing dragon and these fabulous entertainers!
