The players
Rare Books
"This long-awaited publication presents 73 of Steinmetz's photographs of adolescent and teenage baseball players, on the field and in the dugout, focused on the game and lost in their own worlds. Made between 1986 and 1990, the photographs are classic Steinmetz: tenderness, humor, and humanism are all present here, as is Steinmetz's exquisite use of natural light and attention to poetic detail"--Publisher's description.
