Photographer Cam Lindfors' new book, One Half Paradise, captures Isla Vista, California, as a vibrant yet crumbling college town. His images blend the picturesque facade with the harsh realities of climate change and neglect. Through a year of photography, Lindfors reveals the emotional and environmental nuances of life in this coastal enclave, juxtaposing carefree youth with the impending sense of collapse. His work challenges conventional depictions of youth culture, focusing on deeper themes of impermanence and the collision of idealism with reality.
I instantly fell in love," Lindfors recalls. "This is the place - this is the bee's knees."
