"In January of 1976 Jimmy Buffett held a free concert for his friends at Mallory Square in Key West. Just before the event started an unusual cold Northerly wind blew through the island, dropping the temperature 35 degrees. Jimmy suggested that everybody go get a libation to keep themselves warm. Soon after the concert started and the crowd was sufficiently lubricated Jimmy waved at me and told me that I could shoot pictures from the stage and not just from the crowd. I had two cameras one shooting color and the other held black and white film." At the time of this concert, Jimmy Buffett was just a locally popular musician living in Key West who was launching his music career. Don Kincaid was also launching his career as a photographer and was invited to take the photography for this concert and scenes of Jimmy's lifestyle in Key West. Several of the color pictures taken at this now legendary Key West full moon concert at Mallory Square were used on Jimmy Buffett's album "Changes in Latitudes." The black and white art pictures taken at the concert and around Key West were never used, and photographer Don Kincaid kept the film in a safe place for 35 years.

Don Kincaid spent much of his life growing up in Key West in the 1950's and 60's and spent summers at the beach snorkeling the south side of the island. Don developed a passion for underwater photography and following military duty and then some world travel, he studied photo journalism and film making. At age 25, he returned to Key West to work as a photo journalist and underwater photographer. Soon thereafter, he was hired by Mel Fisher, and was the on site photographer when the treasure from the Atocha ship wreck was discovered. Don's work has been featured in National Geographic and other journalistic magazines.
