Steve McCurry on Reading
About the Item
A celebration of the timeless act of reading - as seen through the lens of one of the world’s most beloved photographers
Young or old, rich or poor, engaged in the sacred or the secular, people everywhere read. This homage to the beauty and seductiveness of reading brings together a collection of photographs taken by Steve McCurry over his nearly four decades of travel and is introduced by award-winning writer, Paul Theroux. McCurry’s mesmerizing images of the universal human act of reading are an acknowledgement of - and a tribute to - the overwhelming power of the written word.
"One of the world's most accomplished photographers takes a moment to appreciate the quite contemplation of reading."
—PrivatAir
"In the hands of McCurry it's something that becomes beautiful and wonderfully aesthetic."
—Amateur Photographer
"McCurry's photographs show the absorbing power of losing oneself to the written word in any situation."
—The Guardian, Travel.

Barbra Streisand by Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller
By Lawrence Schiller, Steve Schapiro
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Pitch perfect.
From Funny Girl to a Star is Born, the meteoric rise of Barbra Streisand.
In 1970 Barbra Streisand published a story in Life magazine titled "Who Am I Anyway?" It was the very question two leading photojournalists of the day—Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller—were also asking as they photographed her during her first five years in Hollywood, working to get beneath the veneer and capture "the real Barbra."
Brimming with photographs—over half of which have never been published before—and stories behind the shots from Schapiro and Schiller, this is a must-have collection for any Streisand fan. All the best movies of Streisand's first Hollywood decade are here: Funny Girl, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Way We Were, The Owl and the Pussycat...
