"n Italy the 15th of August is a national holiday and it is seen as the
peak of summer.
The beaches that day are very crowded, people even arrive the day
before and set up tents just to be sure to have the maximum of their
holiday.
They spend all day along at the beach and over there all the usual
activities, like playing, eating, sleeping, etc., are done outdoors.
All kind of people are seen, and it is a pleasure to contemplate at the
same time so much of humanity enjoying and relaxing under the sun."
This project called 'A day on the beach' was started in August 2013,
the main idea was to show how people spend the 15th of August(one
of the busiest day) at the beach; since then, the project has carried on
in different beaches around Sicily, and in different days. I am using for
this project dslr (digital or film) cameras and mobile phones.
