Off Season

When the crowds have packed away their sunscreen and towels and the last ice cream cone has dripped its way into the sand, the tourist areas undergo a dramatic transformation. When the start of the school year comes around, these areas seem to go into a sudden hibernation. It's as if these places, built with the express purpose of entertaining the masses, are on a well-deserved but slightly awkward vacation of their own.

Without the crowds of visitors, the true personality of these destinations comes to light - a little quieter, a little quirky and perhaps slightly unsure of what to do with itself. In this photo essay, I explore the summer resorts at their most vulnerable and authentic moments - like visiting a person in their private space, uninvited.
