Round 16: Tossup 12

Tiny figures in these places are the subject of a 2007 Richard Misrach photobook inspired by 9/11 and ironically titled for a 1957 novel. Beginning in 1975, Tod Papageorge took a series of cross-country trips to create candid group portraits at these places. Marine and Maia is one of many nude portraits that Jock Sturges shot at these places. Nearly abstract bands appear (10[1])in Hiroshi Sugimoto’s long-exposure series (-5[1])taken (-5[1])from these outdoor (-5[1])places. (-5[1])In a photo from Martin Parr’s The Last (10[1])Resort, (-5[1])a woman lies beside heavy construction equipment at one of these locations. Heavily-laden men approach this sort of natural location in the background of Robert F. Sargent’s photo Into the Jaws of Death (10[2])and Robert (10[1])Capa’s (10[1]-5[1])The (10[1])Magnificent (10[2])Eleven. (10[1]-5[2])For 10 points, (10[1])war photos (10[1])taken at what sort of (10[1])location (-5[1])inspired the opening to Saving Private Ryan? (10[1])■END■ (10[10])

ANSWER: beaches [or seashores or coastlines; accept piers; accept D-Day landing sites; accept On the Beach; prompt on oceans, seas, or bodies of water; prompt on resorts or hotels; prompt on nudist colonies or battlefields by asking “at what sort of natural location?”]
