Beautifully signed title of the photographer Joseph Szabo, documenting beach life in beautiful black and white images. 

The book is in very good condition on the inside and outside, no markings, no creased pages.

Szabo is best known for his famous book from 1978, "Almost Grown," which featured many of his students and was acclaimed as one of the "Best Books of the Year" by the American Library Association, and attained cult classic status in the fashion world throughout the 80s and 90s and is cited in Martin Parr, Gerry Badger, The Photobook, vol 3, page 219.

Beginning in the early 1970s, Joseph Szabo started capturing the melting pot of humanity on Jones Beach, one of the busiest strips of sand and ocean in the world with more than six million visitors a year. Among the sea of bodies, Szabo&;s camera reveals moments of both quiet introspection and unashamed exuberance. Images of tanned muscle men, catwalk-like displays of beach wear, heavily oiled skin, masses of sprayed hair, and shy adolescents all reveal the dynamics of the beach so close to New York City. Class, race, and other potential divisions are temporarily forgotten, and the perfect and the flawed are portrayed with the same respect and tenderness. Szabo is an internationally acclaimed artist whose last two books (Teenage, Almost Grown) have influenced and been admired by a whole generation of photographers. Fans of Szabo, Jones Beach, and people interested in beach culture in general will treasure this funny, sexy, lovely volume created over 35 years.
