"A Salty Salute, 1992 - 1997" by Edward Stapel
I started making these photographs as a student at the
University of South Carolina in 1992. After graduating, I continued
photographing my friends, experimenting with various types of film and
cameras. Around 1994, I began compiling the photographs with the idea of
making an album. The project continued to evolve until I moved away in
1998, ultimately becoming two albums containing over 80 prints.
Revisiting these images over the years has always brought me joy. With
that in mind, I decided to make this book, hoping others may enjoy
seeing these photographs as well. I edited the two albums down to these
40 photographs. They are presented in loose chronological order, but are
sequenced slightly differently than the original albums.
Many thanks to my friends who tolerated me and my cameras.
