A brief video about Bruce Haley's new book of pictures from Romania

I especially love when Haley talks about how he edited as if he were composing a piece of music, how he needed to balance out the dark difficult images with the beautiful more whimsical ones. The pictures are both arresting and graceful. Look at his site for more

My Friend Stani's work from Vilcabamba, Ecuador

"I sat down at the table thus heartened and, as if submitting my body to a sacred task, I held my face to the light that surged from the book. The light was not so powerful at first, but as I turned the pages it reached into me so deeply that I felt my entire being dissolve. An unbearable urge to live and run, aching with impatience and excitement in the pit of my stomach, I read until daybreak"

"Early morning is a time of magic in Cannery Row. In the gray time after the light has come and before the sun has risen, the Row seems to hang suspended out of time in a silvery light. The street lights go out, and the weeds are a brilliant green. The corrugated iron of the canneries glow with the pearly lucence of platinum or old pewter. No automobiles are running then. The street is silent of progress and business. And the rush and drag of the wave can be heard as they slash in among the piles of canneries. It is a time of great peace, a deserted time, a little era of rest"

Steinbeck, Cannery Row - a gem of a book
