Paperback. Etat : New. My hope for every young photography student is that there comes a point when the need to do the work overrides the desire to do well in school. This happened for me in earnest when I was in graduate school in 1984. I liken this moment to a first kiss; you get only one chance, and with some luck it's not squandered. Following Garry Winogrand's memorial service in March of that year, and a freak New York City snowstorm on that warm spring day, I took the RR subway into Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, to visit my high school teacher, the artist Len Bellinger. As usual, I had my 8X10 camera and holders in a backpack, tripod dangling off to the side. Being a diligent student, I took the opportunity to photograph at my alma mater, a largely Italian-American Catholic high school for girls. I was immediately struck with a rush of recognition and terror. I returned to make pictures many times during the following months, knowing intuitively there was something important for me to unpack. Only a few years earlier, within these walls, I had lived my life as a teenager, a time of intense joy and unfathomable grief. Without hesitation, that spring day I jumped off the cliff. I was in love. This book includes the Brooklyn work, as well as photographs made at that time in two New Haven Catholic girls' schools. All of the work is produced with an 8X10 camera and printed in platinum, a practice I still employ. Evident is the influence of photographers whose work I was devouring, particularly August Sander and Diane Arbus. The seeds of my future projects are all in this book. With the Catholic girls I launched an obsessive lifelong work habit that I might not wish on anyone I care about. Looking back over these forty years, I don't believe I had much choice. I remain most grateful to everyone who has supported me through the decades, including the incredible girls who generously offered their time to be photographed in 1984. Andrea Modica.

paperback. Etat : New. Seconda edizione (2nd Edition). Fotografie in bianco e nero e un testo di Andrea Modica Design di Teresa Piardi. Cm 24x19. pp. 48. . Nuovo (New). . Seconda edizione (2nd Edition). . "[.] Come al solito, avevo la mia fotocamera 8X10 e i supporti in uno zaino, con il treppiede che penzolava di lato. Essendo una studentessa diligente, ho colto l'occasione per fotografare nella mia scuola superiore cattolica per ragazze in gran parte italo-americane. Sono stata immediatamente colpita da un'ondata di riconoscimento e di terrore. Sono tornata a fotografare molte volte nei mesi successivi, sapendo intuitivamente che c'era qualcosa di importante da svelare. Solo pochi anni prima, tra quelle mura, avevo vissuto la mia vita di adolescente, un periodo di intensa gioia e di insondabile dolore. Senza esitazione, quel giorno di primavera mi sono buttata dalla scogliera. Ero innamorata.""Questo libro comprende il lavoro di Brooklyn, oltre a fotografie realizzate in quel periodo in due scuole femminili cattoliche di New Haven. Tutti i lavori sono stati realizzati con una macchina fotografica 8X10 e stampati al platino, una pratica che utilizzo tuttora. È evidente l'influenza dei fotografi di cui stavo divorando il lavoro, in particolare August Sander e Diane Arbus. I semi dei miei progetti futuri sono tutti in questo libro. Con le ragazze cattoliche ho dato il via a un'abitudine ossessiva di lavoro che durerà tutta la vita e che non auguro a nessuno dei miei cari. Guardando indietro a questi quarant'anni, non credo di aver avuto molta scelta. Sono molto grata a tutti coloro che mi hanno sostenuto nel corso dei decenni, comprese le incredibili ragazze che hanno generosamente offerto il loro tempo per essere fotografate nel 1984.". Book.
