Focus Kansas City A 24-Hour Heartland Portrait

From the back cover: "From midnight to midnight on Wednesday, October 5, 1988, 117 photographers fanned out across the Kansas City metropolitan area and captured on film over 36,000 images of citizens pursuing their individual destinies. The beginning of life and its close, the elation of achievement and the disappointment in failure, the joy of sharing with others and the loneliness of isolation come through in the more than 200 pictures that were ultimately selected for this book. The largest photodocumentary project ever mounted here, it resulted in pictures that are superb examples of the photographer's art. The photo editor for FOCUS KANSAS CITY was nationally known photographer Rich Clarkson, who served in the same capacity on the celebrated "A Day in the Life of America," which inspired this volume. Here is life as we live it, a kind of album of our community experience that will be enjoyed now and treasured even more in years to come."

Book - Very Good condition. Only problem noted was a tiny tear at the front bottom spine and a sort of bend to the cover at that location. Otherwise the book is beautiful, clean, and tight.
Dust Jacket - Very Good condition. Only flaw noted was about a 1/2" closed tear at the front bottom spine. The dust jacket is in a clear protective cover.

207 pages. This is a tall, heavy book.
