In out-of-print book 'A Clearing', Raymond MEEKS documents the stark geological & human assertion of presence against the flattening insistence of time, erosion & poverty. The figures in the landscape appear so isolated that they take on a mythical power.

The color images in out-of-print volume, 'Red Eye to New York' by American photographer Janet DELANEY, brim with joie de vivre and reveal a precious blend of private life in public and the fleeting moments of connection between photographer and subject.
