His groundbreaking \u003ci\u003eStories\u003c\/i\u003e series is the result of a multi-year collaboration between the photographer, bookmaker Lunetta Bartz, editor\/curator Joshua Chuang and Gerhard Steidl. Together they have carefully mined and distilled over 30 years of work into 18 definitive \"stories\" that are sharply edited, simply presented and richly printed in an oversized format that recalls the golden age of picture magazines. The stories range in subject from the zealous expressiveness found in \u003ci\u003eTrain Church\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePedi Dancers\u003c\/i\u003e to the contested spaces of \u003ci\u003eRobben Island\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTrauma\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLandscapes and Billboards\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition to the volumes previously published by Steidl, many pictures appear here for the first time.
