Publisher's Description
Mark Swope is a Los Angeles-based photographer who focuses on the urban landscape. Paint and Memory documents the precarious balance between nature and structure in New Orleans. The photographs in this book, made in the years preceding Hurricane Katrina, are evidence of nature’s perpetual re-claiming of the human altered landscape. It is a conflict that has fascinated Mr. Swope ever since he first visited New Orleans in 1999. The quality of these images can best be described in the Japanese phrase “mono-no-aware”, meaning “very understated and having a beautiful sadness.”
