Hill Country Women
Note from Author Steven Schwartzman
"
In
this book I've combined the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country with the
beauty of some of the women who live in Austin. Both the people and the places
vary quite a lot. A few of the women are artists, one works in a bank, a couple
work for the state government, one is a photographer, one a lawyer, one makes
videotapes, and one even sold flowers on street corners when I met her. As for
the places, probably the most exotic one that appears here is an abandoned
quarry outside the tiny town of Cedar Park where great fossil-shelled blocks of
limestone are heaped up into huge pyramids. The cliffs and rocks of the Colorado
River, as well as the river itself, also appear several times. Even two
cemeteries proved to be fine settings. Good can be found everywhere. It's just a
question of looking for it. I've kept my eyes open for the gracefulness and
spirituality of women, so those are the qualities these pictures reflect."
This book first published in 1980 contains about 14 images of
stereo pairs of Texas women in black and white duotones. Our copies are
newly found old stock, in new condition, we have a limited number of these books
available. These have parallel stereo pairs.
