Lifeguard Tower, Michigan City, February 2018

August 13, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 80mm f/2.8
Film stock: Ilford HP5
Speed: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

This unreleased image is part of my project America Untitled that is being exhibited this month.

I made this image on a very, very cold day in Michigan City, Indiana. The beaches along the shore of Lake Michigan looked like anything but sand beaches where people get tan or children play, and all the equipment used during the summer by visitors and staff were like out-of-place artifacts.

This lifeguard tower stood out to me, and I think it made for a compelling image.
