Photos of Beirut by Sam Ashley.

Paul at everydayhybridity posted recently about photographer Sam Ashley’s work on skateboarders and their sartorial touches. But he also also tipped me off about the photographer’s blog that features skating-related “photostories” in various urban places. Here’s a look into Beirut, the Lebanese capital of retro-cool modernism.

6Architecture Editor, Sam Ashley, Beirut, Lebanon,

Don’t play with war: I was captivated by the scenery before I got my camera out of my bag. In the foreground a soldier in his bunker and in the background a Ferris wheel that looked like it had been shot at. The contrasting dualism in the image struck me before I took the picture. Square/round, adult world/child world, war/peace. Unfortunately I was arrested since I was not allowed to take photos of the military, but I managed to show them a cropped version on my camera screen, displaying only the Ferris wheel.
