Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. [8], 102, [16] pages. Illustrations (color portraits). Format approximately 8 inches by 12 inches. A good photograph can render words useless, but Mission-based street portraitist Bert Katz argues that language is necessary to tell the whole story. "I'm not satisfied with just a physical re…presentation of an individual," explains Katz during a recent telephone conversation. "In order for my work to be complete, there needs to be words." Katz's beautiful city photos aren't the typical landscape studies of rolling fog, meandering hills, and the Golden Gate Bridge; rather, they're mug shots of the town's citizens. He previously depicted the folks of his neighborhood in the 1997 book Sixteenth Street: Faces in the Mission, and revisits his experiment in portraiture, though expanding his purview to the entire metropolis, in his new volume, And When I Dream: Faces in San Francisco. Packaged as a glossy coffee-table book, And When I Dream is peopled with immigrants, doctors, clowns, former dominatrixes, and boys and girls next door. Many of the images aren't technically remarkable, but what they lack in formal beauty they make up in content. "I looked for as many varied types as I could find," Katz explains. These compact real-life narratives confirm the axiom that you can't judge a book -- or a person -- by its cover. Katz goes beyond "type" to find out what makes each individual tick. There's the Muni bus driver who sings Duke Ellington from the Castro to the Embarcadero, and then there's Bernard, the Orthodox Jew who started a gay synagogue. Some of the stories are mundane, while others are dramatic, like that of a young junkie looking for his next hit. Katz's muses defy easy categorization. Aside from their infinite humanity, these people have little in common. The book was five years in the making, a process made lengthier as Katz sought and got to know his subjects -- approximately 100 of them -- before photographing them in varying lights and sitting down to record their tête-à-têtes. A former playwright, Katz clearly has no problem finding the narrative arc within a rambling speech, though he maintains he's no journalist. "A photojournalist shows what is. I don't glorify people, but I'm looking to capture what touches me about them." The hardest part may have been narrowing down his cast of characters to a chosen few. His goal, says Katz, is to leave the reader feeling like "he's had a glimpse of San Francisco that he'll always remember." First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Bert Katz (illustrator).
