SOME CALIFORNIA DRIVE-INS – $24
I started photographing California drive-in theaters in the early 1970s. Most drive-ins were named for the city they were in or the street they were located on. The exterior often depicted scenes related to the local area. When I saw a drive-In theater, it would bring back memories of watching movies outside at night when I was growing up. Their popularity had started to diminish at the end of the 1960s, and many were falling into disrepair.
The book has 48 pages, 22 color and black & white photographs with descriptions, 8×10 inches, and perfect bound.
New Views of CalArts – “A Fiftieth Anniversary Field Guide” – $20
A book of photographs made in April 2023 by Steve Weir, looking at how the CalArts campus had changed in the last fifty years. From the book introduction:
“It had been forty years since I walked around campus. Then, I was an explorer roaming around the new building, photographing the spaces, hallways, staircases, and people. Today, I felt like an archeologist looking at what has changed, been added, or vanished.”
The book has 44 pages, 40 photographs, 8×8 inches, and perfect bound.
