Innovation is a constant thread in the philosophy of photography and no wonder that the fine arts have provided major influences in the development of photography. As we know, some innovative ideas emerge when the traditional receives the same status.
In 2011, the city celebrates its 100-year anniversary. The way Nadia Russ views the city is not traditional, there's no nostalgia in her photographs. This book features 100 photographs of contemporary Fort Lauderdale, and it is all about changing attitudes. The tropical plants and newly built buildings have changed the city's exterior - the new designers’ vision challenges traditional design, they are using new materials and develop new idea. All this reflected in Nadia's photographs. The City of Fort Lauderdale was designed for happiness and celebration of life, with combination of security and inspiration. All this reflected in these photographs which are an important addition to the celebration of the city's centennial.
