This series of photographs represents Joseph Szabo interest, encounter and friendship with lifeguards from 1990-2015. Actually his first connection with them started in the late 1960s when he first discovered Jones Beach. So this work is an exploration using photography as an art form and documentary tool. The purpose is to express more fully the lives of people that Szabo has come to know and respect. These photographs are in the widest sense portraits that illustrate aspects of preparation, teamwork, recharging, camaraderie, duty and responsibility.

Industry Reviews

Joe Szabo provides a stunning documentation of the 'superheroes of the beach'--AnOther Magazine
The photographs here... cover 1990 to 2015, but the beach seems to suspend time. Though lifeguards carry cell-phones now, the basic struggle between people and sea remains the same.--John Leland "New York Times "
Szabo has not lost his eye for capturing the cool and the un-cool.--Laura Van Straaten "L'Officiel "
Szabo captures the strenuous physicality of the lifeguards' work...But he also captures the sensation of endless summer days and, somehow, of endless youth.--Andrea Denhoed "New Yorker "
