{"product_id":"encounters-with-remarkable-men-douglas-elbinger-9781493706853","title":"Encounters with Remarkable Men: A Photographic Retrospective","description":"This book is an autobiographical retrospective of my forty plus years as a photojournalist and portrait photographer. Starting out the the 1960's, I did not plan on making a book, but looking back, I see how this evolved from a natural progression of life events that follow my curiosity about people and my interest in art, politics, spirituality, and culture. At an early age I taught myself photography and set on a path to meet and photograph the people who intrigued me and go to the places that inspire me. Early on, I figured the vehicle to do this would be photography. I remember being influenced by Matthew Brady's photographs of the Civil War and thought that recording history with photographs was something that I wanted to pursue. I was also inspired by the photographers who appeared Life and National Geographic magazines and so as a teenager, prepared myself for a career in photojournalism. I was influenced by the leading photographers of the time, such as Yousef Karsh, Richard Avedon, and Arnold Newman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Elbinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493706853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493706853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Douglas Elbinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064762953983,"sku":"9781493706853","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6caba478-8889-4e38-aaa1-4c2e51f4934b.jpg?v=1685397417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encounters-with-remarkable-men-douglas-elbinger-9781493706853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
