Additional Details

A unique artifact, and tribute, to this major photographer.

The slides or transparencies, now a passé mode of viewing photographs, are also a tribute to another era of photographic technology. The carousel, a world of memory and nostalgia, holds the tiny slides in readiness for the click-click as they pass into the viewer's field of vision on a bright screen in a dark room.
