Images of St. Louis - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

"Images of St Louis" is a visual study of a city with much vitality and variety. Containing images by St Louis's professional and amateur photographers, this collection is an intimate portrait of the neighbourhoods, the landmarks, and the people of St Louis: the glory of the Arch at dawn; the quiet of morning mass at St Louis Cathedral; the grubby task of mowing a lawn at noon; the excitement of gospel singers entertaining a lunchtime crowd at VP Fair; and the trial of negotiating Highway 40 at dusk. The 116 photographs in this book were chosen from more than 1000 submissions by photographers from St Louis and the surrounding area. Because they represent a wide spectrum of approaches and techniques, these photographs reflect the diverse ethnic and cultural landscape that is St Louis. In her introduction, Elaine Viets shares with the reader glimpses from her intimate acquaintance with St Louis, recalling people and places that have made the city special.
