A couple of years ago I came up with an idea for a book and thanks to some great work by Mike Peters, this has come to fruition! Most street photographers do their best work alone. Then they sit at their computers trying to figure out ways to promote their work. The solo nature of photography may be necessary most of the time, but I feel that to work with other photographers is a nice change of pace and I’m very pleased with the way this book turned out. I sent Mike 40 some odd images and he was able to search his archives and come up with many of his own pictures which complemented mine just perfectly. I was astonished that I had no changes in mind after looking at his layout…I hope you agree that sometimes TWO chefs can actually make the soup better!
The simple concept was that I make rectangular pictures in Black & White, and Mike makes his beautiful square images in color. Neither of us stage our photographs and the book is a nice view of separate but similar approaches to documenting one of New York’s most important and historic neighborhoods…
The book is a full size hard cover (12″ X 12″) with a dust jacket and is being sold at cost for the time being. If you want to buy a copy and have it signed, I’m fairly certain that we can accommodate you.
the preview looks pretty damn good. good concept. great photos.
