Girl Under Glass Artist Book Update

Details / From my series on Times Square’s last peep show, “Girl Under Glass.”

Last falI I decided to make a limited-edition artist book of the project. I wanted to share the series but the privacy of the women photographed was crucial, as many keep their work secret from friends and families. The book is small and intimate and somehow more special without the photographs living online. About half of the edition has sold. Here’s some more info:

/Softcover, 42 pages
/Edition of 50, hand numbered + signed
/23 monochrome photographs + text
/$25 plus shipping

The pulp fiction cover was scanned from a real book I found in a secret bookstore in an Upper-Eastside apartment, while in the middle of photographing the project. It was a serendipitous find and one of those things that makes you fall in love again with your city.

If you’re interested in ordering one of the remaining copies in the edition, do so here. Please note, I’m located in New York City and am in isolation. I appreciate your support and patience as the books will be delayed in shipment (you will be notified when they ship).

Girl Under Glass artist book now available

In 2014 & 2015, I photographed inside Times Square’s last live peep show. My nostalgia for gritty midtown New York, derived from watching 1970s classics like Midnight Cowboy, was tempered after spending countless nights on the third floor of the porn shop where the cubicle booths entertained a wide variety of customers. The sleaze and hustle still exist in a few corners of the Disneyfied Deuce.

Four years after photographing I decided to make a small book. Disguised behind an old pulp fiction cover, “Girl Under Glass” is a signed and numbered edition of 50, and it includes 23 photographs and accompanying text. To protect the privacy of the women photographed, this intimate book format is the only way the full series can be viewed.
