Bombay Beach was once a popular getaway for beachgoers until the 1980s. Celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, and Bing Crosby frequented the luxury resorts along the Salton Sea, which was known for its fishing, boating and water skiing. The area attracted half a million tourists annually, rivaling Yosemite National Park. When the draining and increasing salinity of the Salton Sea destroyed the lake's ecosystem and drove businesses and private landowners out of the area, it rendered Bombay Beach a ghost town. Despite this, by 2018, a number of people had moved into the area, and the town's many abandoned structures and features from its past have drawn visitors back in. An article in The Guardian stated that it was "enjoying a rebirth of sorts with an influx of artists, intellectuals and hipsters who have turned it into a bohemian playground." The Bombay Beach Biennale, an annual art festival, is held here. This is a 1/1 film frame of Ektachrome 100 shot on a Canonet QL-17.
FILM FRAMES - A 1/1 NFT Collection Shot on Film
Film Frames is a personal project from NYC photographer James Bartolozzi. The Question: What does a photographer, who mainly focuses in fashion, take pictures of during his free time? What are the things that, as a way to keep his eyes always open and “seeing”, give him the same excitement he had when he first picked up a camera? To answer this question, James carries with him a variety of different film cameras during his travels across the country, daily life in NYC, or local adventures in the area. Mainly using a Cannot GL17, Mamiya 645 Pro, or Mamiya RZ67, these are some images that are among his favorites. Cropped or Not Cropped - A highlight of the Film Frames collection is that it gives the purchaser the choice of leaving the frame as is or cropping to their preference. Easter Egg - some of the frames have small slices from other images in the collection. Can you find them?
