Cross Road Blues — Oli Kellett. Published by Nazraeli Press.
Oli Kellett joins the ranks of Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Ray Metzker, and Trent Parke in their ability to create fresh perspectives of city street scenes. Deep urban caverns of light and shadow serve as backdrops to anonymous individuals, highlighted in their solitary moments on street corners, making decisions at the intersection of streets and sidewalks.
Rixon Reed is the founder and director of photo-eye. He was seduced by the power of photobooks upon first seeing Larry Clark's Tulsa in 1973 while visiting a tiny Cooper Union bookstore in New York City. He later managed the Witkin Gallery book department before founding photo-eye in 1979 in Austin, Texas, as a mail-order photography book business. He moved photo-eye to Santa Fe in 1991, where it remains today as a bricks-and-mortar bookstore, gallery, and internet business.
