“That ominous roominghouse-stairway interior, when I found it, became the signal that keyed this image search (for America, was it?). Having discovered that shot, and reflecting then upon the dark inner-sanctum descent it suggested, I went through the original Mydans 'Lots' (the image groups — over a thousand images have survived in these scattered sets of 'Lots', preserved in the archive in random fashion, so that the ordering as we now have it represents my own editing selection and sequencing plan); one thing led to another, and…” -- Tom Clark, IN THE SHADOW OF THE CAPITOL

Wow, this looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nin.
ReplyDeleteOf course, all credit belongs to the great Carl Mydans.
What better curator of "the great Carl Mydans" than Tom Clark. Nice one, don Tomas.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias, mi amigo.
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to holding this in my hands. Looks splendid.
ReplyDeleteBeing the photographer, of course all credit must go to Mydans but half of that surely should go to the archaeologist/archiver and moving spirit behind the book. Looks like a great one--congrats, Tom.
ReplyDeleteinteresting...!!
ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteTerrific -- what great news!

A great pairing. And the design doesn't look half bad, either.
