Photography & Art
Sunny Land offers a unique view, both realistic and comic, of Miami and south Florida during the last decades of the 20th century, when political and social turmoil, urban decay, and suburban sprawl made Miami a curious amalgamation of glamour and violence, all of it bathed in sunlight. Sunny Land portrays a Florida left out of the tourist brochures, a place that is in some respects invisible, though no less compelling and meaningful.
Praise for Sunny Land
"Most people can take photographs. They just can't take good photographs; whereas Michael Carlebach, as you'll see when you look thorugh this book. can. And his photographs aren't just technically good. They're funny, and interesting, and thought-provoking...
This does not surprise me. I know Michael, and he's a funny, interesting, and thought-provoking person. He's also no stranger to weirdness. In fact, he seeks weirdness out, and is not afraid to have weirdness thrust upon him."
