This is a photo negative capturing a lively beach scene. At the center is a lifeguard stand with two lifeguards. One stands at the top holding flags in both hands triumphantly or signaling, while the other is seated inside the stand, looking outward wearing a wide-brim hat. In the background, there are palm trees, a busy crowd of beachgoers, and some buildings including a ship-like structure. The foreground features some individuals sitting on the sand, with one wearing a swimsuit. The inverted colors make the image appear strikingly different from its original form, with bright areas rendered dark and vice versa.
