Godlis Miami

In January of 1974, David Godlis took a ten-day trip to Miami Beach, Florida. Godlis set his sights on an area of slightly outdated efficiency art deco hotels that was then a busy Jewish retiree enclave. Retirees would spend their days on lawn chairs, playing cards in the sunshine. Godlis shot 60 rolls of black and white film in just ten days, making his way up and down the beaches, chatting up and photographing what he didn't know then was essentially the end of an era.
