The title, *Waiting for Decomposition*, suggests something left to slowly break down, an idea that fits Florida's hot, humid climate, where heat, rain and insects speed the decay of wood, paper and metal more than in most of the country. Florida's cities grew quickly through the twentieth century and left many older buildings, roadside structures and vacant lots that show this process in plain view. Photographers in the state have often been drawn to such scenes of neglect and slow change. Read the image with that in mind, as a study of time passing in a place where nature reclaims what people leave behind.
