| Publisher Description: Now available in a new paperback edition, Richard Renaldi's Touching Strangers embodies the human desire to connect despite our differences. Renaldi directed strangers to pose in front of a large-format, 8-by-10-inch view camera in towns and cities all over the United States. These startlingly intimate portraits reveal "humanity as it could be as most of us wish it would be and as it was, at least for those one fleeting moments in time." These relationships may have only lasted for one moment, but the resulting photographs are moving and provocative, and continue to raise profound questions about the possibilities for breaking down social barriers with positive human connection in a diverse society. |
