"The delights of vernacular imagery are more openly acknowledged now than they have been in the past. We see, and enjoy, many projects showing the simplicity of purpose that is the hallmark of this genre. At its best, vernacular photography is quite compelling and is often woven into shows and authored photography. However, even though I am well used to vernacular photography, nothing has stopped me in my tracks more than when I was first introduced to a set of images, collected by Titus Riedl, while I was attending a Latin American photo forum in São Paulo in October 2007"--From introduction by Martin Parr.

Vest pocket pictures
Rare Books
"A summarization of thoughts: my birthday, a Vest Pocket Kodak camera on my 23rd year. There were no ensuing years of 'photography'--except as a matter of curiosity. I discovered composition, even among prosaic sewer pipes, drab refuse incinerators, playful groups of friends, mountain hiking vistas. Now, decades in retrospect, my 'statements' have come alive at Craig Krull's Gallery. Viewed in an exhibit, they were acclaimed for their 'originality', 'boldness', and 'uniqueness' of my viewing of 'everyday' life. The culmination of three years of those essays of my life's 'adventures' occurred when I was taken by an architect to see a house by Richard Neutra. The prints I made from the six views I took so impressed Neutra that I was asked to photograph more of his designs. On a Saturday, March 5th, 1936 I became a photographer!"--From introduction.

Fish-work : the Bering Sea
Rare Books
"Now, at age 31, after fifteen years of working as a commercial fisherman, my childhood notions of the fishing life have been replaced with a reality that is less leisurely than I had imagined, but as rewarding as I had hoped. I began traveling seasonally to Alaska for fishing work as a teenager, and ended up working five summers as a salmon gillnetter in Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet. During that time, I was also studying photography in college. In 2002, with a degree in my pocket, I began looking for a way to merge the fishing and photography sides of my life. I wanted to find a way to use photography to share my commercial fishing experiences with people who perhaps never thought much about where that fish on their plate came from"--From introduction.

Melting point
Rare Books
"I live in a meltdown period, when old norms of politics, religion and even photography are changing. Melting is a transformation, one form dissolves, another emerges. When I face endings I sometimes fear what comes after. As I raise the camera to my eye and see the world's complexity, my fears melt. I'm graced with fresh energy. In working from the paradox of a curious melding of beauty and fear these photographs emerged"--From introduction.
