RVs as Art: Frank Hallam Day RV Night Photo Series

Visited the Orlando Museum of Art recently and found this print from Frank Hallam Day's "RV Night" series of photos taken of RVs at Florida State Parks:

Does anyone recognize this Holiday Rambler (or any other RVs in his photos) as theirs? Or the parks?

Here's a link to his series: RV Night

Granted, the photos make most of the RVs look sort of "generic".

  • They really are quite wonderful. Thank you for the info about his book.
  • I wrote to him to ask which park this was, after seeing these. Don't they just make you want to BE THERE?

    He said these were taken at more than one Florida park.

    BTW, he's published these in a book. This series won him "the first prize in the highly prestigious photography competition Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2012."

    Can't stop looking at them :)
  • Wow what pictures. Makes you want to heat up the RV and head out. Thanks for sharing
  • Nifty pics. Reminded me of a River Campground site we had last year at Jonathan Dickinson SP. So much tropical foliage. Which would look good right about now. Two weeks and counting.
  • Cool pictures, and with bonus information. You really can't see thru the privacy curtain from outside at night. I always wondered. :E
  • Thanks for the link and info on Link's photos. Had not heard of him. Although
    I must admit to not being much of a "photos-as-art" person, I really like his work.

    The FHD photo posted above looked sort of like a site we had at Ft. Clinch SP.
    Some of the others look like Tomoka, maybe. But you're probably right guessing
    The Keys mostly.

    Like the way the RV looks like a ginormous bug emerging from the jungle.

    You sound like my cousin from the New Orleans area - when he said Katrina left them with 'a little water'.

    I love how some really talented people can capture the differences in light. Makes some scenes look completely different even though they are photos/ paintings of the same thing.

    What he is doing with foreground lighting reminds me a bit of O. Winston Link's railroading series - O. Winston Link Art
  • The pictures make me want to go camping! Its been a little to chilly here lately!
  • Many central Florida and Keys parks seen in those photos IMO. Some photos are actually the same site from different angles with different RV's.
