Items related to Joan Almond: The Past In The Present
Whether in the play of shadows cast on a rock by drying leaves, or in the strength of a woman's crossed forearms covered in marriage tattoos, Joan Almond's photographs maintain an exceptional sobriety of form and treatment. Shot in Morocco, Algeria, India, and Jerusalem, her photographic images focus on family traditions still strong in North Africa and the Middle East but long lost in her native America. Traveling to and working in villages and homes where few photographers have tread, Almond manages to show human beings with remarkable dignity and resilience, despite their sometimes impoverished personal circumstances. This first monograph of Almond's work is printed in tritone to replicate the platinum printing process so integral to the viewing of her photographs.

From the publisher: "The origins of [Almond's] interest in photography are unclear, but once she mastered camera technique sufficient to become a photojournalist for the local newspaper, she started the journey that has led to this remarkable book. Her self-generated pursuit has taken her to Morocco, Algeria, and the walled city of Jerusalem, Egypt, Thailand and India over the past two decades. Joan Almond's approach to her subjects is respectful, unhurried, and unobtrusive. Her photographs reflect the timeless rhythms, rituals and structures which have sustained societies for millennia, but which are also disappearing.". Seller Inventory # 101076
