Jeff Mermelstein - What if Jeff were a butterfly?

Jeff Mermelstein has spent decades photographing New York. Fast, funny, sharp, catching what most of us miss. Here, he turns the camera inward, starting with flowers: perhaps the most photographed subject in history, and possibly the most avoided, for that very reason. From there, the work unfolds through pages of journals, family snapshots, phone notes, and previously unseen prints drawn from an intimate investigation of Jeff Mermelstein’s archive and personal memorabilia. Together, they form a quiet portrait of attention, finding beauty in the everyday and meaning in the small things that make up a life. Hardback 1st Edition 224 pg
