Pie Town Revisited, Paperback / softback Book

Pie Town Revisited Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The remote New Mexico community of Pie Town is famous for the photographs that Farm Security Administration photographer Russell Lee made there during the Great Depression.

In this book author-photographer Arthur Drooker documents his own travels to Pie Town to find out what became of it seventy years after Lee visited. Pie Town Revisited includes a dozen Russell Lee images and fifty-two images Drooker made that capture the soul of the place and its people today.

In addition to these color photographs, Drooker’s essay describes his experience creating this unique historical record.

The work is a portrait in words and pictures of the rugged individualists in this tight-knit community, recalling an America as it was and as it yearns to be again.

Pie Town, as Drooker sees it, is indeed as American as apple pie.
