Summer Camp

1st edition, 2nd printing

"Summer Camp, by Georgia based photographer Mark Steinmetz, is a collection of photographs that capture the spirit of youth during trips spent away at a summer camp. Going away for the summer, separate from our families and the responsibilities that come with them, can be a captivating time. There is a feeling of freedom in knowing that you can choose how you want your summer to unfold, fully aware that when camp ends youll be forced to return to normal life. The new friends we make and experiences we share – whether good or bad – will last a lifetime. Looking through Steinmetz work, there is a sense of solitude portrayed by the young subjects: maybe its because while we may do things together, we still grow up on our own." - Jordan Felix

"My work in summer camps is a project continued over many years. I love to describe the various physical aspects of the camps: the cabin life and dining halls, the screen doors, the lodges and campfire activities." (Mark Steinmetz)
