Hardcover. Condition: New. Billy Blake has been a fine art photographer for 5 decades. In 2010, he survived a Malibu fire that destroyed his home and thousands of un-digitized negatives from decades of work. He was crushed at first, but he resolved to rise above the tragedy, and he set upon a 3 year plan to re-create images that… were forever lost. IMAGES . From the Ashes features the finest work from one of America's most talented unsung photographers. Blake's use of light, color, and variety of styles pleases the eye. Some sections are grouped by style, others by subject. These include Decisive Moments, Abstracts, Reflections, Impressions, Flowers, and others. A heartfelt preface tells Blake's story, and a fascinating detailed narrative accompanies each section, describing each re-creation and the personal meaning of each original that is no more. For Blake, it's more than a book, it's his life; the reader will feel his passion; and the artistry is most compelling. Open copy, light scuffing on back cover of dust jacket, wrapped in Brodart protector.
