Extraordinary black and white photos of ordinary folks at work and play, school and town meetings, a glimpse at a vanished way of life by Ruohomaa, a noted Life Magazine photographer, with some explanatory text by Dietz. Maine in the 1950s. Usually ships with delivery confirmation. Where available, a photo of the actual cover has been provided instead of a stock photo. Condition description: some yellowing of the edges of the covers with age, if held to the nose, a slight smoky smell (note to the scent sensitive), some minor creasing noted at top of front cover, spine shows some chipping and vertical creasing from repeated openings. From the first chapter: Kosti Ruohomaa was not the greatest technician. His tools were simple. His basic equipment was a Rolleiflex and a 35mm camera. He worked with color, and toward the end of his life he was beginning to master this new dimension. But he was always more at ease with black and white. Black and white he could control; color seemed to intrude upon his intent, to defeat rather than lend itself to his purpose. Who is to say he was not right? How could color have strengthened the telling picture of his father, body bent over, fighting his way out to the barn in a blinding snowstorm? And what was the need for color in his studies of Maine fog or a Maine landscape on a wintry day? *
