Buckroe Beach Amusement Park Seahorse Statue in Hampton, Virginia

by John Margolies

Captured by the keen eye of photographer John Margolies through the documentary-style camera lens, this fine art photograph serves as a memorial to an adored piece of roadside folk art located at the Buckroe Beach Amusement Park Seahorse Statue in Hampton, Virginia. The bright and cheery combination of green and yellow paint is captured within the scene of the classic seahorse statue surrounded by vintage mid-century era carnival rides.

A bold and provocative celebration of forgotten amusement parks and coastal Americana.
