German photographer Oliver Weber lives and works on the Canary Island of La Gomera, God help him, and has put together a collection of images, Social Life at Beach, which is part natural history study, part photo essay. The motivation for the series, being shown through online photography magazine Emerge, is a grim fascination with how some people choose to spend their holidays – the repetitive cycle of beach activities, buffet gorging, binge drinking and toilet hugging. Weber’s overriding question seems to be “why do people do this to themselves?”. He has a point. The collection is also available as a book from Amazon.
