Poolside
A photographic series.
Revised edition.
It is a hot summer day and what is more fun than to take a swim in a cool refreshing pool? The pool is the American icon for summer. It is a place to exercise the body and refresh the mind. It is a status symbol and one of independence.
These images explore the romance of the pool and the dreamlike quality of the lazy summer day. An 8x10 Pinhole camera captures the subject on Polaroid film. The light reflecting on the floating raft becomes a pool dance on the film. The figures are many times blurred. This creates a dreamlike - if not - mystical feel to the imagery.
