Days Of Sunshine And Poses

Every weekend since 1969 the photographer Joseph Szabo, has taken photographs of people on Long Island's Jones Beach. Some may say its a love affair with the camera or could be called an obsession.

Through the pictures you can see the beach is nolonger quintessentailly American as all different cultures are brought together.



When people pose they show their personality. Spontaneous moments show their Vulnerability.


I prefer photographs of unknown people whose story you don't know because then you can guess where their life leads. However for that instant shot it's more about capturing a moment of honesty, the pictures show trust and understanding.

oh this are really lovely photographs, the colours are really subtle and I agree with you about the anonymous people - some much more interesting!
