Photography on the beach in Provincetown, Mass., circa 1950s
Provincetown (Mass.)
An interesting composition of men at the beach. One man in a bathing suit stands with legs wide, back facing the camera, looking down (possibly taking a photograph). Another man in a wrap and straw hat waves what may be a feather in the direction of the camera. In the distance along the shoreline, framed between the legs of the man in the foreground, two men walk alongside each other.
