The Lives of Others

By: Carroll, James

Four decades of superb American Street Photography by Leica photographer James Carroll

Captured over the course of more than forty years on streets across the USA, James Carroll's photographs present a unique collection of historic Americana

Driven by a need to preserve memory--of his own experiences and those of others--and what curator and contributing writer Sean Corcoran describes as "his yearning to see, know, and understand," Carroll explores the impermanence of human lives and relationships.

The images take us back and forth from a documentary approach to a more subjective realm, in which the author imagines new scenarios in chance encounters, while still commenting on the American scene.

The majority of the black-and-white photographs in The Lives of Others were made with a Leica M3. Most of the images are published here for the first time.
