Close to Home: Seven Documentary Photographers (Untitled, 48)

"This book grew from a belief that successful documentary photography need not be contingent on artificially induced distance, and from an awareness that there were, in fact, a number of artists who were photographing in regions close to their childhood homes. What is clear from these photographs, and particularly from the statements that accompany them, is that a deep understanding and knowledge of the subject of a documentary investigation can simultaneously be as revealing and alienating to photographers as a strange and distant land can be to a traveler."--the editor.
