Publisher's Description:
Selected from twenty years' worth of photographs by award-winning Magnum member Larry Towell, The World From My Front Porch is
a collection of photographs of family life in northern Ontario-a
romantic and beautiful rural idyll. This photo-essay is at the heart of a
book that also, in separate sections of albums and found objects,
explores both the history of Towell's front porch and his outside
journeys into the war zones of the world. Themes of land and belonging
are woven together in an extensive autobiographical essay. The book is
dramatically designed in the manner of an Edwardian album and
accompanies retrospective exhibition touring the United States and
Canada.
$75.00. Copies available at the gallery. Pre-order here.
