photo reel: art deco district

If you decide to stray away from the flashier parts of South Beach, be sure to pay close attention to the details of Art Deco— the pastel colors, the breeze block balconies, the designs etched in the buildings, the geometric shapes at play, the symmetry and asymmetry, the “window eyebrows”, the curved walls and edges, and always pay attention to the shadows of the palm trees. This colorful neighborhood is a unique corner of the world, made special by its minor details. Once you slow down and zoom in, there’s no denying its tropical-retro charm.
