About the Author
Steve Gottlieb has traveled through all fifty states photographing people, architecture, landscapes, and abandoned objects. His award-winning pictures have been published in hundreds of magazines, advertisements, and annual reports worldwide. Murals from his first book, "Washington: Portrait of a City," form the core of a permanent exibition about our capital city at the National Building Museum. His second book, "American Icons," is a visual celebration of our nation's most widely recognized symbols. A graduate of Columbia College and Law School, Gottlieb labored for ten years as a lawyer, after which he turned his lifelong hobby of photography into a second career.
Book Description
Where there has been life, there are elements of that life left behind. Hidden among our present are the vestiges of days long forgotten. They are everywhere. They are pieces of our history...they are the incidentals of our collective American genealogy. They are the man-made objects and structures that have outlived their functions, becoming part of the abandoned periphery. Award-winning photographer Steve Gottlieb has traveled from coast to coast attempting to capture these links to our bygone eras. His images are hauntingly evocative of a past that we rarely see, and this collection represents his journey across Abandoned America. |
