Photo of the Month Contest Winner

Ocean Drive 2020

This month’s photo was submitted by Kristine Olson of Miami. Kristine had lived in Manhattan, NY for eight years, and did not have or need a vehicle. During the New Year of 2020, she purchased a 2018 white Porsche 911 Carrera.

While growing up in Minnesota, Kristine’s father was an avid Porsche Club member in that area and regularly club raced in at Brainerd International Raceway. Kristine moved to Miami in March of 2020 and joined the Gold Coast Region.

One week after Kristine moved to Miami, everything shut down due to COVID 19. This was an unprecedented time of 2020 without the usual traffic, tourists, bikers and pedestrians of Miami Beach. Kristine says that she “Spent time exploring the Miami area by driving around in my new Porsche and exploring.” and “Was able to capture the emptiness of Ocean Drive in Miami Beach.”

I like that Kristine took advantage of the city-wide shut down to capture this photo of her Porsche in front of the Leslie Hotel on the unusually empty Ocean Drive. Her choice to use black and white photography is a good portrayal of March 2020. Kristine took this photograph using a Sony a6000.

I really appreciate all the great submissions - please keep them coming!
