Without ever trying or intending to, he showed me that the most important
things in life cost nothing at all. He was my antidote to modern living.
In a series of photographs made over eight years, Julian Germain captured the
quiet, contemplative existence of an old man living alone in a small house in a
city on the south coast of England. Unfettered by the misplaced aspirations of
the modern world, Charlie spent the last years of his life absorbed in his
memories of his wife, his children, his love for flowers, music and the
quotidian pleasures of the crossword, and his albums of his own photographs.
A gentle portrait of a gentleman in his twilight years.

American Pit Bull offers an alternative view of a controversial world. The
American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the most maligned breeds of dog, with
sensational media reports of violence and viciousness. But pit bull people —
old-timers, breeders and owners — have long shown the dogs fanatical
devotion, establishing an entire culture around them. It is these people and
their pets that have captured Marc Joseph’s gaze over the past two years.
