Produktbeschreibung
This book is a compilation of four decades of pictures taken in places familiar and remote. It is entirely of the film era in his work and ends with the beginning of the 21st century. In Jeffrey Heller's 20s and 30s, he had two professions--he was working as an architect as well as a professional photographer, burning the candle at both ends. He had briefly studied with Ansel Adams and for a year with Minor White. In his mid-30s, he realized that he could not continue both professions and decided to make architecture his primary calling and photography his artistic outlet. This freed Heller to photograph as he wished, and he took his cameras with him wherever he went, whether the travel was vacation or business he would make time to photograph. Heller always used professional equipment and took his photography as seriously as his architecture. Heller worked with his wife, a photographer and artist herself, and went through approximately 2000 images to Select the ones for this book. The photographs are from a wide range of places, but the emphasis is on the image as a sense of place. The photographs are an impression in time, character and visual content.
