Contact Sheet Print: First Trip to Florida, 1974/2016

A grid of twelve square photographs—sunlit, saturated, and framed with black film borders—forms a nostalgic collage of American leisure. Captured by Jim Goldberg and drawn from The Last Son, these archival family images trace moments of travel, play, and posed joy: a couple stands aboard a boat, dolphins leap mid-performance, children wade in a pool, and a woman smiles beside a kitschy roadside attraction. Together, the images evoke a scrapbook of mid-century optimism, shaped by memory, myth, and the everyday theatre of family life.
