Gay Block's South Beach Photo Series Captures The Vibrant Life Of Jewish Retirees In Miami (PHOTOS)

Throughout the 1980s the elderly inhabitants occupied the affordable Miami hotels, living in a mini paradise filled with their own beachside gatherings and bold fashions choices. This more tranquil aspect of Miami's past is the subject of a new photography exhibit at New York's Howard Greenberg Gallery, featuring the work of Houston-born artist, Gay Block. The show, titled "LOVE: South Beach in the 80s," features 20 archival prints of South Beach's brightly clothed residents.

The series is a heartwarming homage to Block's first trip to Miami, where she was inspired by the floppy hats and tinted sunglasses of its smiling people. She describes this encounter in her book, "About Love: Gay Block Photographs and Films 1973-2011," stating: An essay on Bryan Schutmaat’s “Heartland” A gas station beyond which lie distant grain silos, a deer carcass in a barren field beside a highway, a rural church at night, a winnowing truck-path faded under the ice and grit and snow; a music room in a Sunday school, a rail depot at sunrise beside an industrial park on the periphery of an unnamed town, a rural roadside café, a ceramic Christ bearing the heart within its chest in the window of a Main Street storefront, a lone horse stark and solitary in a field of grass, a First Baptist Church bathed in a lapsing sunset, its cross brilliant in burnished gold… These early scenes are full of a contemplative silence, indelibly inscribed with the visible traces of their inhabitants, and often filled with the rolling whispers of a breeze.

He suggested this one: Bryan Schutmaat’s newly-released photographic series, Grays the Mountain Sends, is quite stellar. The images depict desolate regions and isolated communities of the western United States with a deft touch and a sympathetic eye. His landscapes become emotional statements, and his portraits force you to wonder about the lives of the sitters.

Looking through the images and their chosen sequence, you begin to feel like a narrative story is being told, one who’s specific arc you may never really know. VICE: How long has this new project been in the making? How long would you say you were on the road, actually shooting? Were you based in Brooklyn back then? Yeah, that would make things much easier than living on the East Coast. As a photographer, do you feel drawn to the road? And they were receptive? I wanted to talk about the poet, Richard Hugo.

BACK TO THE FUTURE : Irina Werning

I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them.
