They become ordinary people again  their hair sliced with slat spray  their bodies squeezed into neoprene wetsuits. And it is here  on the beaches of Montauk  New York  Carpinteria and Santa Cruz  California  that Joni Sternbach finds and photographs them. Sternbach makes her photographs in tintype  a labor-intensive technique little changed since its invention in the 1850s. Photographing this way is a kind of performance  which Sternbach uses to her advantage. Her elaborate setup is an object of curiosity that helps attract sitters. The process is slow and involved  so making a portrait becomes a conversation.\" from \"Surfland\" Photographs by Joni Sternbach\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902194843701,"sku":"ByrdShop_1934334065","price":453.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781934334065.jpg?v=1793820675","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/surfland-9781934334065","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
