When most people go to the beach and want to shoot film, they pack rolls of things like Kodak Gold. Or Portra. Or, if they smoke a lot of weed, maybe even Ektar. Beautiful film stocks with super warm tones and higher saturation. Stuff that really makes the contrast between a clear blue summer sky and yellow sandy beaches really POP.
But me? What do I pack for a trip to the beach? Black and white Kodak Tri-X. You wanna know why? Because happiness is a fleeting myth that they sell you in grade school so that you forget that fluoride melts bones but they still found a way to put that shit in our toothpaste. Unbelievable.
Anyway, I took this photo in Asbury Park sometime in the summer of 2017. I have no idea who any of these people are, but I’ve always really loved everything going on in this photo.
Printed on Epson Premium Luster Paper, a professional semi-gloss archival paper that delivers vibrant color, rich contrast, and long-lasting quality and will prevent my dirty greasy finger prints from f*cking things up while I pack your order. The 12×16 image area is centered on a 16×20 sheet, leaving a clean 2-inch white border on all sides, in case you also didn’t know what a “photo mat” was before you purchased this.
Each print is signed and numbered in the lower border, which means this might be worth some loot if I die or something. Prints ship flat and arrive ready to frame. I hate that ChatGPT wrote that last sentence for me. Like, who do you think you are, ChatGPT? This is going to be such a pain in my ass to do, and you’re out here talking about it like it’s NBD.
For display, this format fits seamlessly into a standard 16×20 frame without the need for custom sizing — a simple, elegant way to bring the work to your wall. I made sure to leave the em-dash so you know I used ChatGPT to write this caption. IDK man. You want one or not?
