As anyone who’s ever frequented Miami
Beach knows, there are as many stars sparkling on the sandbar as
there are glittering in the sky. And what’s a star on Miami Beach
without a photographer to capture that magic for time eternal?
For the past six years, Dale Stine has
photographed nearly everybody who’s anybody, from denizens of the
night to Brickell socialites—along with every deejay, dq, and hottie
in between. As the official photog for the Miami Gay and Lesbian
Film Festival and the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, the man
covers the waterfront—and on Wednesday, February 13th, a
retrospective of Stine’s work flashed over the walls of Halo on
Michigan, creating a mosaic of some of Miami Beach’s most famous,
most gorgeous, and most notorious—testament again to the ongoing
parade that is life on Miami Beach.
Meanwhile, over at the Colony Theater, Miami
ARTzine photographer Henry Perez had his own lobby retrospective
called A Sweet Romance, a series of
Miami couples canoodling through the
night—further proof that whenever
there’s a camera around, everyone’s a
star.
