Description
The first full-length, full-color print publication of the tireless Boston-based photographer, Sid Limitz, including an introductory essay by Andrew S Guthrie, 57 digitized Kodachrome images, and an adapted radio interview conducted by Brainard Carey.
Sid Limitz has been taking photographs from the early 1970s up to the present time, working with lowly snap-and-shoot 110 cameras, 35mm negative and positive formats, as well as the latest digital technologies. By his own estimate he takes upwards of 70,000 photos every six months.
Celebrities, Semi Celebrities, and ordinary people includes a choice selection of Mr. Limitz’s preferred film stock, Kodachrome positive slide film, running through a period beginning in the mid-1970s up until the film was deemed obsolete in the 2000s.
Sid Limitz has been called a “street photographer” albeit one nick-named a “soft-core paparazzo”, someone who seeks out and wins over his willing subjects, whether they be a high-level film star or the charismatic working-stiff (and everything in between).
These 57 images offer a wide spectrum of American types, a compelling and accurate representation of the country in this time period, those citizens who look directly into and out of the lens, showing themselves as they are and how they should be seen.
This book also includes images of (amongst many others): John Waters, Patrick McGoohan, Sylvia Miles, Liza Minnelli, Christopher Reeve, and Leonard Bernstein.
