Tristan and I headed back out to the Redneck Yacht Club for more messing around in the mud:
Months ago I completed an assignment for the New York Times, and the story ran recently. I was to take a portrait of Tyler Brashear, 13, who lost his father, James, in car crash almost two years ago on a stretch of Interstate 75 in Southwest Florida. Brashear was sitting next to his father as a tractor-trailer rig slammed into the back of their car as they inched their way through a construction zone just after midnight. The trauma of the crash remains for Brashear. “My son before the accident was cheery, playful, an 11-year-old boy,” said his mother, Kim Guarino. “Since the accident, my son is distant, he spends a lot of time in his room by himself, refuses to talk about the accident.”
