Joel Sternfeld entwines two personal stories in this book that together reveal the roots and evolution of color theory in his work over the past five decades. In the summer of 1975, facing surgery with a risk of paralysis, Sternfeld went in search of a last idyll-and found it in Nags Head on North Carolina's Outer Banks. From June to August he photographed the seaside town floating in time, capturing a dreamlike sense of solace. Sternfeld's images show beachgoers of all ages in various scenes of leisure and recreation in this, his first body of work addressing a season. At the time, Sternfeld was already committed to color as the basis of photographic expression and fascinated by Josef Albers' Interaction of Color: "Any time that I saw a color phenomenon in the landscape that somehow coincided with an Albers-type exercise in the perceptual properties of color, I made a photograph." Yet this summer sojourn was tragically broken by the death of Sternfeld's brother; the photographer returned to New York, never to go back to Nags Head. Eventually Sternfeld resumed working and one day headed to Rockaway Beach, Queens. Here he took a picture in which "All at once the ugly scene appeared beautiful to me"-the hues of sand, apartments and sky fused into a cohesive whole: finally, content had been transcended through color. This photo, made in despair and with its perceptual foundation in the Nags Head series, would lead, a few years later, to the color structures of Sternfeld's magnum opus American Prospects, his ambitious realization of what he had always wanted to do: follow the seasons across America.

Pretty and practical clutch
Color: Champagne Gold
Love this adorable clutch. It is so pretty and well made. It is a really small size. Its not very versatile and can only be used for dinners or events because you can't fit very much in it, especially if you put your phone in it. The strap is optional. The price is appropriate for an off brand fancy clutch. All in all, I'm happy with this as it looks nice, holds an ID, and looks nice with pretty much any dress.

Wish it were wider…
Color: Champagne Gold
Attractive but too slim to hold my small phone wallet. If your phone has a very thin case it would probably work for you. I wish it were just slightly wider. So I would highly recommend you get exact measurement of what you want to carry in this bag.

Casual dress shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Powder Blue Vertical Stripe
I purchased a shirt for my fiancé for vacation wearing to church and just upscale casual wear around town and he loves it. He washed it and dried it and it looks good as new. He also thinks that it runs true to size and is comfortable to wear. The only note is that the fabric is a bit more thick than the other dress shirts that Amazon offers so it’s not optimal if the weather is very hot, otherwise the look is great
