Sunburns & Snickers: These Beach Pics Will Make You Thankful for Air Conditioning!

A Photographer’s Quandary

There he was, a man on a mission, contorting on the sandy catwalk, all for the perfect shot of his prized possession. It wasn’t just any photo op but an acrobatic endeavor, knees deep in the sand, to capture the essence of…his precious belongings. Whatever the treasure, it sparked a dedication usually reserved for high-stakes fashion shoots.

Meanwhile, the beach around him tells stories of less intentional left-behinds—cigarette butts, food wrappers, and plastic bottles, silent stars of an environmental cleanup saga. In 2018 alone, volunteers collected over 20.5 million pounds of such relics from beaches worldwide. It’s a stark reminder that we carelessly discard countless items.
