When we liked Ike: Looking for postwar America di Barbara Norfleet

This is an extraordinarily subtle and artful collection that constitutes a sort of portrait of American life in the early postwar period. "The images in this book, taken by professional and commercial photographers, such as Joe Steinmetz and Lucien Brown, highlight the family, rituals, and social events for clients rich enough to hire them. . . . To find their meaning is not easy." Highly recommended!

Barbara Norfleet was born in 1926; this book covers the period of her early adulthood (1946-1959).… (altro)

The Champion Pig : Great moments in everyday life di Barbara P. Norfleet

A glorious collection of photographs by American studio photographers outside the studio throughout the middle half of the twentieth century. Some of the images have insightful commentary from the editor, her friends, and some of the subjects themselves. Although each picture stands on its own merits, I would have enjoyed even more commentaries.

Looking at Death di Barbara P. Norfleet

Survey of photography that documents a different aspect of death (violence, medicine, family, ritual). Each section is prefaced with a short essay by the author.
