I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating book cover
I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating
Alec Soth - 2019-03-01
Calificación de Goodreads
Alec Soth's latest book, "I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating," is a beautiful and thought-provoking exploration of the limitations of photographic representation. Through large-format color photos taken all over the world, Soth delves into the depths of his subjects' inner lives, using interior spaces to highlight the universality of their experiences. As Soth puts it, the goal of this book is "to simply spend time in the presence of another beating heart."

VINTAGE NEON book cover
VINTAGE NEON
Los Angeles 1979
Billy Vera - 2016-04-26
VINTAGE NEON: LA 1979 is a captivating photography book by Grammy winner Billy Vera. The book tells a noirish story of LA at night through photographs of forgotten neon signs that Vera captured almost forty years ago. These mesmerizing photographs sat hidden away until recently when Vera's friend, Tamela D'Amico, recognized their value and secured them a gallery showing and a book. This book is a visual history of a time and place long past and a must-read for photography enthusiasts and anyone who loves LA's rich culture.

Discover the vibrant and thriving Jewish community of 1970s South Beach through stunning photographs capturing daily life, beach strolling, klezmer dancing, and more. Shtetl in the Sun features previously unseen photos by American photographer Andy Sweet, showcasing the largely elderly population of New York transplants and Holocaust survivors who made up half the town's population. With a foreword by Miami arts journalist Brett Sokol and an introductory essay by bestselling author Lauren Groff, this book is an ode to a once-vanished community.
