Product Description
Time Frames, Micael Spano's long-awaited first monograph, catalogues the artist's exploration of spatial and temporal dimensions in photography. The book is divided into five chapters: Panoramas, Grids, Portraits, Multi-Exposures, and Diptychs; each employs a distinctive technical process to provide a new way of looking at life in New York City. Panoramas (1977-1983) show interacting urbanites moving through elongated frames as the lens of an extremely wide field camera pans during exposure. Grids (1980-1990) captures eight moments on a single negative as Spano moves through a sequence of events, pre-determinedly exposing a portion of the grid every four seconds. Portraits (1984-1990) focus on individual inhabitants transformed and etched out from their settings through the solarization and blurring forms into an atmospheric world. Multi-Exposures (1985-1998) combine solarizations with multiple perspectives. These single-negative layered compositions orchestrate and compress selected intervals of time and space into one image. Diptychs (1998-1999) fuse two distinct moments on one negative where scale, focal planes, and perspectives shift and comprise a dual image of urban spaces.

Very Well Done Photography Book July 8, 2008
I bought this book not long ago, and I really enjoy it.
The photographs are both beautiful and mysterious.
It is a must for anyone with an interest in artistic photography. Each photo tells a story...gives you a hint of a life. Spano is a great photgrapher of his time. I'm very interested in his other books and work.
Buy it! It's great.

Spano's work is unique and attuned to the urban experience. Through a multiplicity of approaches, he throws himself--camera lens first--into the continual flux, ego, and uncertainty that is New York and comes away with a document that breaths city. His techniques often require him to work intuitively across a flowing landscape, yet he continually matches the certainty and eloquence of photographers who spend hours on their compositions. It is photography that is--like the city he records over fixed time and changing light--familiar and yet often disturbing round the edges.
