Fringe by Christoph Morlinghaus in Miami

Miami has a certain cliche, but few really know how the city and its immediate surrounding really look. I tried to show the hinterlands far away from the crowds of South Beach. My tool was an 8×10” camera loaded with blue sensitive black and white film.

It’s the longest vacation of my life.

A perfect day in Miami?

Get up very late, grab wine, a picnic and a book, walk to the beach, jump into the turquoise ocean.

What is the best thing about Miami?

When I took these photos it was 72 degrees and sunny out. A blizzard was covering the rest of the country.

Traffic, tourists, fake breasts, litter and South Beach.

The amount of anarchy and liberty.
