Item description from seller

Grey DJ with b&w-photo illustration and white lettering; grey cloth over boards with silver and black lettering; xii, 144 pp.; richly illustrated in b&w. In this volume apperas the best of Ralph Steiner's work of over fifty years. The more than one hundred photographs are grouped in roughly chronological sections -- from "The Early Twenties" through, among others, "Earning a Living" to "Late Work." In addition to the photographs and some technical comments, the book includes an extensive authobiographical essay in which many of Steiner's well-known contemporaries figure prominently . [Steiner] relates his own adventures as a film-producer and photographer, makes observations on the highly personal darkroom techniques of Steichen and Stieglitz, tells how Paul Strand stunned him into "doing the finger exercises" of photography, and shares countless other bits of fact and reminiscences. -- DJ.

It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.
