Fort Lauderdale, 1986 / One photo

Spring Break '86

Fort Lauderdale, 1986. A pastel motel, zinc on your nose, a volleyball hanging in the air, and the boardwalk glowing at sunset. One photo puts you inside a spring-break tape that feels like it has been in a shoebox for forty years.

What plays on the tape

MAR 29 1986
01

Motel balcony

Pink stucco, damp towels over the railing, and the ocean already too bright to look at directly.

02

Game point

The ball goes up. Somebody shouts your name. You dive for it while the camcorder keeps rolling through the spray.

03

Boardwalk sunset

Orange sky, salt in your hair, and the last shot of the day framed by a blinking date stamp.

The 80s AI photo trend, with your toes in the sand.
