Florida photography, BookMen style

Following up on our recent discussion of Andrew Holleran's The Kingdom of Sand, Lee Levine notes the novel's reference to a "big bearded hippie who spent his time [in Florida] photographing old beauty parlors." As it happens, Lee did the same thing himself back in the 1990s, and was kind enough to share the two photos below.


The first is of an establishment within walking distance of South Beach in Miami, which he took in 1993. Lee notes: "Like so much in Florida, it's been swept away by changing times." The second one, of the palm tree, he took somewhere near the Everglades. Thanks for sharing these with us, Lee!
