a fair film
40,000 still pictures and hundreds of hours later, this stop motion film emerged from the studio of photographer/director Ben Van Hook. It's beautiful, nostalgic, magical, sweet and amazing.

this is mesmerizing. beautiful and haunting. "haunting" not typical though, but in a nostalgic-smile-inducing way. it is a past brought colliding into the present. and it is so relevant despite feeling like it is long gone. thanks for posting!
it reminds me of another photographer's take on boardwalks long past: sarah baker on wildwood. i don't know if the link will work, but the nostalgia is just as present. http://shb-photography.com/#/GALLERY%20III/Wildwood%20Boardwalk/1
