SUMMARY OF PROJECT DESCFHPTlON(CONTINUED) programs involve volunteers to'visit'the homebound,help with shopping,etc P iOJECT NEE®. There are, however, several pending changes that will certainly affect the folkways of South Beach. The city admini- stration and commission have initiated the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency;their task being the complete renovation of the blighted area of South Beach.This is the city's most ambitious,grand,and controversial plan towards revitalization. It calls for the demolition of all but ten buildings on 250 acres,most of which is residential (this area houses about 5,500 people).This undertaking includes the relocation of these residents (and small merchants) with redevelopment in terms of a Resort/Con- vention Center. The cost is estimated at $635 million. The social and cultural iimplications and projected benefits and conse- quences are so critical that the project is under national scrutinization. It is the sustaining tempo, regardless of pending changes, that continues to mark this culture. Whether it is a group, of elderly women gossiping on their apartment's tropical patio built with an art-deco motif which is found frequently in the upper section of South Beach, or the Senior Citizens Orchestra rehearsing at the Sixth Street Community Center, the social climate is unique and fascinating. Along these lines is Lummus Park, 'a strong focal point for this study. Located along most of the Atlantic Shore in South Beach, this beach and lawn area, with neighboring hotels, offers an image which retains the closest bonds to the Miami Beach 'dream' of the forties. It is frequented by many local residents and seasonal visitiors; it has survived, unaltered, as a prime leisure center for decades. With regard to our holistic approach to collecting data through the Photographic Medium, it must be stressed that our intention is to reveal the unique environment that characterizes South Beach, and all of the ways and joys of living in ones later years,as well as the candid depiction of the pathos of aging, PROJECT OBJECTIVES The project calls for an extensive inquiry of the target area until such a thorough investigation reveals areas of social and cultural import. Our ideal is that their consequent depiction be fair and accurate representations in proportion to the frequency and relevance of each concern. The working attitude which we will maintaiin includes: Constant picture taking, developing and proofing film, and making 'file' prints to be introduced to an archive. Constant editing, sequencing, and 'balancing'of images while continually researching for events and places to photograph are all importanit activities. The production of this comprehensive photographic survey of South Beach will yield at least 250 prints for a file of archival use. The archive will be given to and housed by the Cultural Affairs Divison of the City of Miami Beach and will be integrated into the existing "Miami Beach Photographic Archive" as well as meeting archive storage requirements. It will, therefore, have optimum,functional availability. In addition to the archive,a special portfolio of 40 exhibition quality prints will be made for gallery viewing. Prospects for exhibits are numerous and the Cultural Affairs Division will gladly consider all offers to exhibit the photographs. The project is designed to employ two ph,:tographers. The photographers will employ complimentary camera systems (35mm. and 120 size); this allows for the subjective responses and technique which affect an image to be incorporated and therefore, viable and readily decipherable in terms of pictures. Thus,the viewer can 'see° the subjects in comparative terms. This complimentary involvement is an essential quality in our efforts to produce a 'human document'. All archive and exhibit photographs will be processed to complete archival standards. The black& white"prints will be treated with the necessary fixer clearing agents-in addition to protective selenium toning and adequate wash time. The color photographs will be made from Dye Transfer matrices, as this is the only archival color process. The black & white and color prints for exhibition will be over-matted with acid free museum board. The photographs that will be incorporated into the"Photographic Archive"will be filed in bound volume books end meet necessary archival standards CONCLUSION. ;j The story of Miami Beach is an American legend. As the inevitable fortes of change create new realhtites the nature and face of Miami Beach will certainly be altere0. Such change for South Beach will mean a radically different environment. '; This is the time to create a chronicle which reflects the South Beach Legacy: A macrovievif of the American Dream come' } true ..anal age. w� j . ' , . .
