Crashing Wiley Hall

This series shows Wiley Hall as it looked earlier this morning (November 24th, 2009), when a driver allegedly hit the gas instead of the break in one of the parking spots next to the historic building.

I was tipped off by Jill Morgenthaler, age 24, who saw the crash as she and her friend, 20-year-old Leiagh Bonfiglio, were getting out of their car at Wiley Hall opposite of where the crash occured. Jill said:

"My friend and I were parking at Wiley. Right as I turned off the car, either
the girl was trying to reverse [in drive] or lost control getting into the
parking spot, but she rammed her RAV 4 into the column of Wiley Hall. We thought
were were gonna die!"

As of this writing no one has been reported as injured in the crash and the driver was examined by Flagler nursing staff. A temporary support beam has been set up until a new columns can be made to replace the damage.

Originally shot as picture of Nostalgia, 25-year-old Megan Frost thinks back on the fun she's had through the magic of desaturation.

I shot this alligator statuette outside of a house in Licolnville that could be suspected of favoring a certain Florida college football team. I used a watercolor filter to give it even more character.

I took many pictures of different subjects, but decided to use Megar as my subject because, as a friend of mine, she was easily manipulated into doing multiple shots to help with my technique. So here are two of the better pictures of Megan in action.
