The shoreline of Lake Eloise, in Winter Garden, Florida, is surrounded by low, overhanging cypress trees and old splintered docks. The lake is known for the Cypress Gardens theme park, great sunsets and budding wakeboarders. Making use of a vintage dock at a historic park, the silhouette of Jeff House pressed his way through the golden light.

Box of Fun’s creator and rider Collin Harrington is a familiar face on Clear Lake. He’s almost as recognizable as that bridge that always appears in the background.

Lights, camera, action…towels! With the light in the housing underneath the dock and the light attached to the top of the ladder, I positioned myself to expose the entire scene. What you can’t see is the attempts after this shot. I repositioned the flash housing on top of the dock where it eventually collided with the edge of George’s board, pushing the broken housing into the water. My flash and signal wizard was fully submerged and sinking, with nobody close by to fish it out. By the time I got to the dock and found it, a solid five minutes had passed. To this day, and for whatever reason beyond my comprehension, the flash and wizard work better than ever.
