Amerikana (inside view)

Amerikana is now published and can be purchased online here. This is a nice-sized book at 24x30 cm., and features 48 photos in B&W and 1 in color, with various two-page spreads.  The duotone printing with selective lacquering gives a photo-quality finish.

The limited first edition print run consists of 500 signed & numbered copies, although only 300 of these will be made available to the general public.  

Shown on the left-hand page is the photo entitled Columbus Farmers' Market (2009) in which the sparkling smile of Nat King Cole on the cover of his "Unforgettable" 8-track tape stands out against the background of junk strewn all over the ground.  This seems to be a telling metaphor for today's technology-obsessed society in which everything quickly becomes obsolete.
