About the book
Each Christmas between 1988 and 1995, Barry Lewis travelled to South Beach, Miami, to trade the harsh London winter for a tropical paradise. There he photographed the diverse (and eccentric) people who made up the community: fashionistas, newly-arrived Cubans (following the Meriel exodus in 1980), Jewish retirees from New York, drag queens and the gay population who flocked to Ocean Drive for the party scene. Lewis' images are accompanied by quotes from the subjects.
