Here is a book to write home about! If you attended summer camp in the 70s, or ever... or your kids did, or were supposed to have... please read on. THE BEST!! Repost @letter16press ・・・ We’re thrilled to announce the release of our newest book of photography: Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah: Andy Sweet's Summer Camp 1977. A companion volume to last year's Shtetl in the Sun, Andy Sweet's love letter to the colorful Jewish community in late 1970s South Beach, Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah chronicles the summer of 1977 at Camp Mountain Lake, serving up a knowing portrait of the era's fashion, pop culture, and frank expressions of adolescent sexuality. Set against the cherished rituals of camp life – from the parade of trunks as 300 campers arrive at Mountain Lake’s rural North Carolina setting to the end-of-August Dionysian frenzy of “Color War” – Sweet's photos tell a classic coming-of-age story, one full of awkward crushes, intense friendships, and the kind of deep truths that emerge over late night, campfire-toasted marshmallows. By turns nostalgic, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny, this collection includes an introductory essay by New Yorker magazine staff writer Naomi Fry. Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah: Andy Sweet's Summer Camp 1977 is being released on May 26. Link to order now — with a pre-sale 25% discount — is in our bio. #letter16press #shtetlinthesun #thelastresort #andysweet #hellomuddahhellofaddah #photobookjousting #summercamp @artbook #naomifry @frynaomifry #camp #miamiphotographer #miamiphotographers #photobook #areyoureadyforthesummer #bookstagram #indiepublishing #summercamps #summercampkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B_r70dTJ_3p/?igshid=5busw30cyswu
