“Pocketful of the Sunshine State” is a photo zine self-published by Arielle Bader & Sydney Walsh. Printed in an edition of 70, perfect bound, 68 pages with 35 photos.

“Pocketful of the Sunshine State” contains pictures of Florida from the years 2016-2020. These past four years have been a strange time for our state.

The people here, the quirky details in daily life, the perpetual humidity and even the way light shines is distinctive to this place. We wanted to share a perspective that is different from the “Florida Man” national headlines people see.

This is where we grew up. This is a collective portrait of how we see our state.
