A collection of hundreds of photos taken by a husband of his wife during the years 1956-1968, In Almost Every Picture is a remarkably consistent group of images, relaxed yet arranged, amateur yet professional, everyday yet unique. At the center of each photograph is the wife, gracefully posed, captured in different places over the years. She ages, her hairstyle changes, likewise her taste in fashion. But if viewers feel that through these pictures they have come to know the photographer and his wife, they are very wrong. The collection of images that appears in In Almost Every Picture was found at a flea market in Spain--if any relatives of the artist or his subject come forward, the photos will be dutifully returned.

<p>That most American of activities, the cross-country road trip, is here appropriated by two Dutch artists who set out to understand the United States in a way they never could through advertisements. From Los Angeles to New York, photographer Auke Vleer and designer Barbara Dijkuis traveled 8,000 kilometers (or 5,000 miles, depending on your point of view) over backroads and through small towns, documenting the landscapes, places and people they met along the way. A map that cleverly folds open from the cover of the book documents their journey. Through 750 images, laid out geographically from West Coast to East, the artists put the reader in the back seat, showing her America through their eyes. Tyler Whisnand's text for the book provides the soundtrack on the car's radio and the ultimate one-liner: inspired by Vleer and Dijkuis's pictures, Whisnand wrote a 3,000-word sentence that reflects his own vision of his home country.</p>

All American: Traveling With Barbara Dijkuis & Auke Vleer And Reading With Tyler Whisnand

Over the course of many trips together, the anonymous taxi driver takes dozens of photographs of his female rider, the taxi they drive in and the places he takes her. In Almost Every Picture we see the passenger and taxi in a new location, a place they have traveled to or through, on their way to some final destination. We see dramatic mountainscapes, fields, sunsets, city squares, highway rest-stops, each captured by the camera's shutter, as if to say: "I have been here. Because of this passenger. And this car. This taxi. You have to believe me. This is where we were." After examining the series, we begin to wonder if perhaps a small love affair is going on in between the back seat and the front seat of the cab. We imagine that, out there on a road, a taxi driver is forever taking the same passenger on a journey from someplace to someplace else. He drives uncharacteristically slowly, and every once in a while they stop and get out so that the taxi driver can officially record their existence In Almost Every Picture. This volume is the second to explore a series of photographs by an anonymous, amateur shutterbug.

This third volume of In Almost Every Picture is a look at pictures taken with a camera that detects motion. We witness self-made portraits of deer and other small animals in nature; a reality that humans are not privy to, even when stomping around in the woods. The images capture these animals and bring us face to face with them in a sudden, unexpected flash.
