Sons of the Living — Bryan Schutmaat. Published by Trespasser.
So many have photographed drifters and life along the highways in the Desert Southwest, but this amazing work flows like no other. The brilliant use of long exposures of car lights traveling on the highways at night in the distant terrain acts as threads binding these riveting portraits and landscapes together, creating a powerful view of life on the edge. Unforgettable!
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.
