Thank you all for patiently waiting for this update:

We are thrilled to share the winners of the 2nd annual Photobook Prize, selected by William Boling of Falline Press! William was impressed by the variety of strong submissions and powerful narratives, and selecting the winners was not an easy task. Thank you to all who submitted!

Congratulations to all the incredible artists and their publishers! We’re especially inspired by the impressive number of self-published winners this year. It’s a powerful reminder that artists can take full creative control and bring their visions to life on their own terms. Keep making those books!

Featured auction item : BOOK - SUMMER DAYS STATEN ISLAND - Christine Osinski
Item #1455622

Taken in the "forgotten borough" of Staten Island between 1983 and 1984, the photographs in Christine Osinski’s (born 1948) Summer Days Staten Island create a portrait of working-class culture in an often overlooked section of New York City. Captured on Osinski’s large format 4x5 camera as she wandered the island, her candid portraits of strangers, vernacular architecture and quotidian scenes reveal an invisible landscape within reach of the thriving metropolis of Manhattan. The neighborhoods that Osinski captured are devoid of the skyscrapers, swarms of pedestrians and choking masses of traffic that are a short ferry ride away. Instead, she captures kids riding bikes on open, empty streets, suburban homes with neatly tended yards and the small-town feel of New York’s least populous borough. Accompanying the series of images is an essay by Paul Moakley, Time magazine’s Deputy Director of Photography and Visual Enterprise.
