Jennifer's newest book of A. Aubrey Bodine photography ... Released March 2013!
A. Aubrey Bodine, newspaper photographer, pictorialist, modernist, and
documentarian, was a Baltimore Sunday Sun feature photographer from 1924 to 1970.
He left an archive of photographs, chronicling mid-twentieth century American life, of people doing
all kinds of work. Bodine’s images of heavy industry document an era passed.
This book contains a wide range of award winning and historically significant
images, many not seen since they were published in the Sun. These pictures demonstrate
Bodine’s extraordinary depth and breadth as a photographic artist. This is the
third Bodine picture book assembled by his daughter, Jennifer. Their previous
collaborations are Bodine’s Chesapeake Bay Country and Bodine’s City.

SPORT OF KINGS … Thoroughbred racing has since Colonial times been a popular Maryland sport,
and in the Preakness, run annually at Pimlico, it reaches one of its national peaks.
This race is one of the Triple Crown series, the others being the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes.
The Preakness was first run in 1873.
