The faces and places that give Flagstaff, Arizona, its unique character are captured in this collection of photos and writings by George Breed.
At age 71, the Marine and martial artist was newly retired from a career in psychology when he began exploring the town’s streets, paths, and back alleyways on foot, camera in hand. Taken during a decade’s worth of daily strolls, these photos reflect the quirky vision of an attentive artist who finds meaning and connection everywhere he looks. The result is a book that captures the essence of a singular town.
I've been lucky enough to see George Breed out and about taking pictures in our mountain town. I watch him connect to a scene, or a configuration, or an image then, point and shoot. I admire his style of raw capture. You are truly seeing what he sees in this book. Not only iconic shots from all over town, but beautiful moments that anyone who's ever lived in Flagstaff, Arizona would connect to as well. This book makes an AWESOME gift for the Flagstaff-lovers in your life!
What a lovely book, artistic and philosophical yet down-to-earth. Photos reflect life in beautiful and genuine Flagstaff, Arizona. No staged or brushed photos. Thank you George Breed for sharing your journey. This is the kind of book one can return to time and time again for refreshment.
