Lee is Free

This image titled “Lee is Free” is an image that is very close to me. Thou you can’t see him in the images, all previous frames of this shoot my Best friend Lee Chilson is in the images. In fact he is hiding right behind the sign in this image out of site. With in a year of that shoot my friend took his own life. This image means so much to me on many levels. Opening on October 31, 1949, in downtown Fort Myers; The Snack House was the first restaurant to have air conditioning. It served food for 40 years before closing its doors. My own grandfather once worked behind the counter, and my parents dined in its booths when they were dating in the early 70’s.
The Snack House, Fort Myers, FL, 1949.
