Summary: Reiner Leist's most ambitious photographic project to date provides a unique look at America through portraits of its people. Each of Leist's portraits is juxtaposed with a childhood portrait of the same person. enhanced by autobiographical essays which shed light on the individuals' often colourful lives. Over a period of seven years Leist travelled across America. photographing people from Rochester to Key West and from New York City to Los Angeles. Like America itself. the book presents a diverse tableau of race and background. youth and experience. native born and immigrant. capturing the complex mix of America's contemporary society.Weight in Kg appr.:
