A selection of Philadelphia-based photographs rendered by Pennsylvania photographer Martin J. Desht (b. 1949). With a foreword by Gerald Stern and comments by the photographer. "An eloquent song for a great American city -- Philadelphia, and a tribute to the working men and women throughout Pennsylvania who helped make the Keystone state the great industrial powerhouse it once was. Ever determined to follow his own vision, Martin Desht fuses images and words, intellect and emotion, like no other photographer working today. Tough, street-wise. Yet his work remains graceful, intimate, and universal." (back cover). VG .
