In 1969, Will Vogt was given a Nikkormat for his 17th birthday and he has been photographing his social circle ever since. Photography has a long, complicated history with documenting the underprivileged but rarely, if ever, do we see the privileged in the same unvarnished light. Vogt's images offer a raw glimpse into an American upper class that is inaccessible to most and remarkably unchanged by contemporary society. For over 50 years, while pursuing careers in oil and gas, hunting, and ranching, Vogt continued to document his life with a camera. The images in this book center around Vogt's family, friends, acquaintances, and particularly the summer residents of Watch Hill, a coastal community in Rhode Island where he has spent summers since childhood.
