Felix Erazo - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Albert Wang Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:23 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] FS: Photo books and prints by Albert Wang, first three copies for free. 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. Cost of the book: $30 plus $10 shipping and handling. 2) Complete set of all 96 prints done by the photographer himself and signed on verso.
