Strauss, Zoe and Steve Crist — America by Zoe Strauss

[Los Angeles], Ammo Books, LLC, 2008. Hardcover. Color illus. boards, [304 pp.], many color illus. The first book to showcase the work of Philadelphia photographer Zoe Strauss (b. 1970). The woman "who has brought us searing images of that city’s marginalized people and places on the fringe of society, has taken her no-holds-barred, up-close-and-personal style of photography on the road across the underbelly of America. At times witty, touching, poetic, and downright shocking, Zoe Strauss’s photographs of the beauty and struggle of everyday life resonate as a social document of our time and as sheer and powerful art. Zoe Strauss’s images underscore an America that more often than not goes unseen." (publisher) With an opening artist interview conducted by Steve Crist. Otherwise, every page and every picture tells a story. VG (may have slight edge and corner wear to bindings; otherwise clean.) .
