Produktbeschreibung
Charleston: Walking With Ghosts presents an intimate exploration of Charleston in the 1990s through the lens of David Edwards, a young photographer who was discovering his artistic voice. This evocative collection of analog film photographs captures a city steeped in history and culture, yet untouched by the development boom and tourism surge of later decades. The images honor Charleston's unique architecture, its vibrant working-class community, and a diversity of faces that bring to life an era of inclusivity and an emerging bohemian arts scene. Accompanying the photography is the poetry of Charleston's first and second poet laureates, Marcus Amaker and A$iahMae, whose words enhance each image's natural poetry and deepen the reader's connection to the city's layered stories. Inspired by the great twentieth-century photographers, this book is both a celebration and a quiet lament for a past Charleston, capturing the soul of a place as it was and inviting reflection on what it has become. Whether you're a lover of photography, art, or Charleston itself, Charleston: Walking With Ghosts provides a rare, thoughtful portrait of a city in transition, beautifully balancing artistic vision with documentary honesty.
