New Orleans: A Photographic Journal
Photographs by Joseph Crachiola
This is a collection of black and white photographs of New Orleans, taken for the most part during the fifteen years that New Orleans has been my home. It is a visual document of those events and scenes that interest me; the music, events, architecture and street culture of this unique city.
A Year on the River
Joseph Crachiola, a photographer, lived on his boat for a year on the Detroit River. Robert McGowan's words accompany the photos like a moon shadow; without the pictures there would be no words, the shadow enhances the art as surely as the art causes the shadow. It is a pretty book on its own right, the capturing of an odd event (who would think to lived a year on a boat in Detroit?) and yet the city we all hear about is only a distant backdrop to a secretive and sensual world of isolation. The book deals with two rivers, one of water and one of time. The book deals with two sources, pictures and words. It is a well crafted book, a thinking person's companion. It's not only a lovely art book, it's an invitation to examine your own life.
de troit: 1973-2013
“de troit” is a collection of photographs taken over the course of forty years of working and living in Metropolitan Detroit. This monograph is intended to accompany a photographic retrospective of my work to be shown at the Scott Edwards Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana in the spring of 2014. The title of the book is intended to pay homage to the original settlement, settled in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.
