Bücher von James Carroll

Vier Jahrzehnte erstklassiger amerikanischer Straßenfotografie des Leica-Fotografen James CarrollDie Fotografien von James Carroll, die im Laufe von mehr als 40 Jahren auf den Straßen der USA aufgenommen wurden, bilden eine einzigartige Zusammenstellung historischer Americana. Angetrieben von dem Bedürfnis, Erinnerung an seine eigenen Erfahrungen und die anderer zu bewahren, und von dem, was Kurator und Autor Sean Corcoran als »seine Sehnsucht zu sehen, zu wissen und zu verstehen« beschreibt, erforscht Carroll die Vergänglichkeit menschlichen Lebens und seiner Beziehungen.Die Bilder führen uns von dokumentarischer Herangehensweise zu einer subjektiveren Sphäre, in der sich der Autor bei zufälligen Begegnungen neue Szenarien ausdenkt, während er gleichzeitig den amerikanischen Schauplatz kommentiert. Die meisten der Fotografien in "The Lives of Others" wurden mit der Leica M3 aufgenommen. Ein Großteil der Bilder wird hier zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht.

Since the downturn of the construction industry, James Carroll has been looking for new ways to earn a living. He has tried a few different projects, but, having been involved in the construction for 30 years, he was finding it hard to adjust. That was until he came across some notes he had written some years before, when he had wanted to write but did not have the time. He had been accused, at the time, of stealing a jacket from a trader on Portabello Road and had successfully conducted his own investigation and proved his innocence. Being involved in construction he was unable to get time to write properly. But now the opportunity had presented itself again and James decided to give writing another try.After all it should be in his blood as his father had penned some plays for the local theatre group as well as writing some well known poetry. It was therefore fitting that James should continue his work and to dedicate his writings to his late fathers memory.
