He is best known for his large-scale back-lit Cibachrome photographs that explore Vancouver’s mixture of natural beauty, urban decay, and postmodern and industrial featurelessness. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Foreword by Adam Gopnik. An exceptional association.

Many of Helen Levitt's classic pictures of New York City are wold-famous, but there are many more unknown Levitts, the bulk of which are the subject of this book. Here and there brings together 105 rarely-seen pictures chosen by the photographer herself, more than 90 of which have never been published before. "Helen Levitt's work is a cornerstone in the history of photography" (International Center of Photography's Master of Photography Award, 1997).
