JOHN LOENGARD: MOMENT BY MOMENT

A new monograph on the iconic American Life photographer John Loengard

As John Loengard writes in the preface to this monograph, �The truth is: a good photograph cannot be repeated. This may be why a photograph of a brief moment, an instant in time, can hold our interest forever.� Moment by Moment is an intriguing selection of many moments in John Loengard�s long career. His subjects include movie stars, writers, politicians, artists, and other photographers, as well as normal people engaged in a host of extraordinary activities?or, rather, typical activities rendered unforgettable or of enduring interest by the photographer�s vision. From a shimmering Marilyn Monroe to a brooding T. S. Eliot, from a now almost sinister silhouette of Bill Cosby to an iconic shot of the Beatles, from an Etonian to a boy in the streets of Manchester, as well as ranchers, sweepers, picnickers, and fellow photographers, Loengard�s vision moves and delights us with his humanity and artistry.

Moment by Moment enlarges our understanding and deepens our appreciation of Loengard�s photographs. 135 duotone photographs.
