Beach Days on 591 .... The show begins!
Thanks to all of those who send us their pictures.
Now today is the opening of the "Beach Days on 591"
We start with the wonderful Joni Sternbachs and her view on beachlife.Timeless beauty of the sea and the people who love water.
I really love these images ...maybe you like them too.

“Sternbach makes her photographs in tintype, a labor-intensive technique little changed since it’s invention in the 1850s. Spontaneous and unpredictable, the streaks and tonal variations in the finished photographs reflect their hand-made character, the corners rubbed where they were held in the camera.
Posing on rocky outcrops, in front of uprooted trees, or on thick mats of woody flotsam, Sternbach’s surfers inhabit strange landscapes. The best of Sternbach’s photographs convey insistent longing. They are about relationships – the relationship between surfer and board, between human and landscape, between photographer and subject, and between the surfers themselves...she has discovered a new sort of home – a place without walls, defined only by belonging and the physicality of existence.” — Philip Prodger, Curator of Photography, Peabody Essex Museum
