Summer, 1987 / One photo

A Day in 1987

One photo becomes a full summer day in 1987. The camcorder follows you from the driveway to the arcade and back home at dusk, with every big-hair, acid-wash detail intact. Your face stays yours. The world around it goes mid-80s.

What plays on the tape

JUL 14 1987
01

The driveway

Morning sun, a bike on the lawn, and the family wagon already warming up. The tape opens like a home movie nobody planned.

02

Main Street

Neon Reflections, cassette tapes, and a friend waving from the sidewalk. The camcorder turns every ordinary errand into a memory.

03

Golden hour

The day ends on the porch with the sprinkler still running and the red-orange date stamp blinking over the last frame.

One selfie. One camcorder. The whole summer of 1987.
