07 July 1985 - I believe Oak Street Beach is the only sandy beach on the Chicago Lakefront (the rest are all concrete). {addendum: i’ve been notified in the comments that that is not the case}. I thought it was all "imported" sand but Wikipedia says it's actually sand washed up from Lake Michigan. Obviously sand is not the only thing that got washed up but lots of flotsam and jetsam. This was a very hot Sunday and according to the temperature record it was just north of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the beaches were packed. Every couple of blocks you would see a lifeguard on duty. Noteworthy is the First Lifeguard I came across as I entered the scene, and he was reading a paperback titled WIRED. Ahead of his time. I also love the one of the young woman rolling either a cigarette or a joint next to a guy with his Walkman in his back pocket. #chronicles #fromthearchive #filmstill #personalphotography #storyteller #shotonfilm #80s #kodachrome #kodakfilm #analogphotography #americana #vintage #nostalgia #urban #urbanphotography #architecture #beach #cities #lifeguard #sunbathe #reading #walkman (at Oak Street Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdwPCT7utjV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been wondering why I am not getting ANY reblogs or hearts or followers on my posts which I am sharing from my Instagram account, only to discover that the tags are not transferring over.  Oh well.  I may have to repost everything directly here. Unless you like black-and-white street photography and decisive moment photography, then you can go through my archive and see some great work, currently posting from Bucharest Romania.
