For sale:

1) Postcards of an Existentialist Paperback Monograph

Postcards of an Existentialist, despite its title isn't a French 
existentialist treatise but in terms of its outlook of life influenced by 
Samuel Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre, Eugene Richards, Eric Dolphy, and Ornette 
Coleman. It is a personal two-year (2001-2) diary about one man's coming to 
terms with his own depression and loneliness as he returns from graduate 
school back to the city where he moved away from. It's a dour yet ironic and 
bitterly humorous portrait of Philadelphia (w/ a few shots of New York City) 
and it's a stark contrast to any of the daintily pretty pictures we tend to 
see of the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall. Instead, what we have here is 
a brutally honest photo-journal of a documentary take of the photographer 
being viewed with suspicion and distrust or ignorance. It's a visual 
illustration of the quote from Cool Hand Luke: "What we have here is a 
failure to communicate."

The 107 page book is printed in halftone with plastic covers. The dimension 
of the book is 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
