Langdon Clay Książki

"We were patterned after the early church of the apostles. The Book of Acts speaks of the community that anyone could join. They brought their goods with them, to be shared by all, and each shared in everything that was provided. And so that is the basis of our union and our life in community." --Eldress Bertha Lindsay, from the foreword The Hands to Work, Hearts to God includes exquisite photography by Ken Burns, Langdon Clay, and Jerome Liebling, along with archival photographs from the Shakers' own collections and a historical text by Amy Stechler Burns. The book provides a deeper understanding of the architecture, craft accomplishments, and lives of the Shakers.

Cars were an indispensible aspect of twentieth-century culture, both for their utility and aesthetics. From 1974 to 1976, Langdon Clay photographed the cars he encountered while wandering the streets of New York City and nearby Hoboken, New Jersey at night. Shot in Kodachrome with a Leica and deftly lit with then new sodium vapor lights, the pictures feature a distinct array of makes and models set against the gritty details of their surrounding urban and architectural environments, and occasionally the ghostly presence of people.
