The Journal of Florida Studies seeks photographs for publication in Volume 1, Issue 6: Special issue WATER.

A selection of photographs will be published online in October, 2017, with text by JFS Photo Editor, Alison Nordström.

The photographs should address the subject of water in Florida in fresh and interesting ways. While all submissions are welcome, images that merely affirm that water is present in Florida, such as seascapes, postcard versions of the Everglades, etc. are not likely to be selected.

4. an image list corresponding to the numbered files in your picture folder. For each image identify title, date, process
