maggie_book_cover.jpg Maggie
Emmet and Elijah Gowin

The photographs bear witness to her unique personality and warmth as seen from the view of two different generations. Edith Gowin describes in her introduction, "Maggie is an interesting and unpredictable person, so it is not a surprise that both Emmet and Elijah saw something universal and magical in her." The book is signed by both photographers.

old.jpg Times Squared
Toby Old
This 120-page cloth-bound book includes 114 duotone reproductions. The photographs in the book represent four bodies of work, Times Square, Boxing, Fashion, and Disco—or simply put, the street, the arena, fiction, and sex. Toby Old is looking through the viewfinder in the tradition of Weegee, Robert Frank, and Diane Arbus. He is not simply interested in capturing the bizarre or the grotesque; the underlying draw for him is the action. The New York Times said, "He is unflinching, his pictures not always easy to look at but always entertaining."
