Rumur, 2019. Hardcover with tipped-in image to front cover. First Edition, First Printing. 12 x 9 inches. Unpaginated with circa 115 pages and about 100 photographic images in color throughout. In 2010, I found a box of color slides from a project I shot in 1989. It was the first photo project I ever did and it began in a color printing class...This was before the internet, so we had no real way to research our travel. We just hit the road and stopped whenever we saw a mall or visited one that someone suggested. We went to about 15 malls in all.... The slides went into a box, and it was 20 years before I found them again. In 2010, I borrowed a scanner from a friend to digitize some old negatives and I came across ancient images capturing life inside shopping malls, a consumer culture that had been decimated by the Internet. In 2011, I put some of the images online and they went viral and the book was eventually published offering a perfect capsule of times sorely missed and now becoming rarer still. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy showing light rubbing and wear to covers.
