From the site archive: Edin Chavez photographed Miami Beach lifeguard towers at sunrise across repeated visits. The series pairs the towers’ color and shapes with changing sky and shoreline light. The original 2014 first-person account below is preserved as an archival quote. Its two-year timeframe and hotel-purchase statement have not been checked against current records and should not be presented as a current offer.

Photography and original account: Edin Chavez. The former edinchavez.com address now redirects to Edin Fine Art. The site’s get published page currently resolves, but its submission policy needs separate review.
