Bodine's Industry - The Dignity of Work |
|
Jennifer B. Bodine showcases a collection of inspiring, and award-winning photographs that
represents the extraordinary depth and variety of A. Aubrey Bodine’s photographic career.
The work of A. Aubrey Bodine, a seasoned feature photographer of the Baltimore Sunday Sun, is showcased in this beautiful display of 154 black and white images shot within a four mile radius of where he lived and worked. These powerful images are exclusively Baltimore and yet this is not a Baltimore picture book. These photos go beyond the geographical bounds of Baltimore with Bodine’s wildly varied subject matter that demonstrates the versatility of Bodine as an artist. Bodine photographed people, animals, buildings, harsh weather conditions, textures, geometric patterns, and cityscapes, devoting his life to elevating photography into an art form. A number of photographs featured in this book were shot on one of Bodine’s many causal walks around his neighborhood taking photographs of whatever struck his fancy. He was famous for his dark room magic, making changes to photographs in the darkroom and done by hand. He was called a pictorialist however he was much more than that one defining label. Those that love photography and art will be pleased to add this wonderful array of powerful photographs to their library. You can now order a signed copy for the retail price of $39.95 (plus 6% sales tax in Maryland). No additional charge for shipping to any location in USA. Released March 2013. |

About the Book
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 collaboratinos are Bodin's Chesapeake Bay Country and Bodine's City |
