Camera Work (Revised Edition). John Fraser

A major revision, the merely documentary gone, the symbolist-poetic intensified. Past and present, nature raw and cooked, imagistic juxtapositions, sunlit urn with cypresses, flames glowing as the ground thaws for a midwinter Minnesota grave. Enigmatic mannequin, pensive boys, racing girls, sentinel in the sky. <br><br>You don&#39;t need specific locations. This is all about possibilities, emblems, icons, moods, never settling down into a single mode, a single statement. Everything is in motion or with motion latent. The lyrical calms of sunset grass and pristine pebbled beach are sites for couples. not death-wish yearnings. There&#39;s a lovely wedding kiss. The cover&#39;s key-setting figure with bike at that dreamlike empty intersection has the potency that comes when the eye has fastened on something without the mind fully knowing why.<br><br>Escapes from &quot;the malady of the quotidian.&quot; Lyrical/dramatic compositions. By the author of &quot;Atget and the City.&quot;
