WOMAN cover and selected shots.

After years of photographing people and places on assignment and in my personal life, various similar subject matter tend to repeat and accumulate into categories. Presented together they are sometimes referred to as 'bodies of work'. Galleries like to show groups of photographs that relate to each other. Designers of photo books do the same. This book is no different. It contains 31 b&w photographs of women. It's not meant to be the definitive representation of all the women in the world. After all - I haven't been everywhere. Some of these women were present at functions I was assigned to photograph. Some were chance public encounters. Others are friends or acquaintances. That's about it. No intention or inclination for a social statement here. Just a group, I think, of interesting women I photographed acting on an impulse. --------------- Book specs: 5.5 x 8.5 soft cover, 34 pgs/31 b&w digital ink jet prints, perfect bound & stapled, open edition, published by - brassmajestykpress - Price $50 usd + shipping
