Friends and Relations: Photographs by Tina Barney

Washington/London: Smithsonian Institution Press. Fine. (c.1991). First Edition. Softcover. [nice clean book, as-new with no discernible wear]. (Photographers at Work) Series Trade PB (color photographs) This entry in the Smithsonian's excellent "Photographers at Work" series contains an interview with the photographer, a one-page biographical essay, a half-page of technical information, and 24 photographs. Barney: "I'm documenting something that's important historically, that has never been done efore, in photography at least, from the inside -- a way of life that I don't think might ever happen again in America, because our priorities, or the ways people choose to spend their time, have changed so much. The time that it takes to live with quality -- in a style of life that has quality -- is disappearing." .
