Killing Time: Photographs by Joe Steinmetz - Softcover
Steinmetz (1905-1985) was a photojournalist and a commercial photographer in Philadelphia before WWII and in Sarasota, FL, after. He just happened to have created a visual record of the US' social history. His pre-war work exhibits the comfortable side of life of the affluent Northeast: society weddings, debutante parties and Princeton reunions. In contrast, Steinmetz's Florida photography shows a lifestyle of carefree leisure featuring trailer parks with shuffleboard courts, golf courses and beaches, mostly occupied by people in swimsuits and shorts. This volume, the true first edition published in conjunction with an exhibition, covers both time periods. 68 pages; 54 full-page b&w photographic plates plus 3 photo text illustrations; 9.75 x 8.5 inches.
