Magnum Editions: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 1966 Erich Hartmann Fine PrintsRen Burris 1966 photograph captures a lone man suspended on an exercise bar, silhouetted against the Florida sky. Framed by palm trees and parking meters, the figure becomes part of the horizon and its poised, rhythmic shapes. Fort Lauderdale, famous then as a leisure destination, was also home to a nearby naval base where nuclear submarines were stationed placing ordinary life in the shadow of Cold War tensions. Burris image distills this contrast

ghost-like bodies loom under the water at Bondi beach in New South Wales

but also because she brings a vital reflection on the role of the medium and documentary practice

the gaze begins to widen

Autumn passes and winter comes

and edit which

on Playa Del Rey

“‘Be careful’
