We've all heard that "film is dead," or at least dying, but where is it actually laid to rest?

It's a familiar image to anyone with even cursory exposure to surf and skate culture: shirtless, long-haired dudes shredding empty concrete bowls on skateboards in the razor-sharp California sunshine. But when I leafed through POOLS by skate/surf photo legend Craig Fineman, which depicts a single day's skate session in the late 1970s, I saw this well-documented visual trope from an interesting new angle,. read moreIn California's Empty Pools, Skateboard Photos Become Epic Landscapes     show less

Photo by © Koos BreukelAround the world today, cultures with no major arterial connection to modernity are increasingly rare, and as a result, a source of increasing curiosity from the rest of the world.
