    <![CDATA[Think of the quirky buildings you pass every day but whose quiet beauty you take for granted&#8212;the moviehouses, juke joints, soda fountains, barbershops, roadside diners, and storefront churches. You don&#8217;t miss them until they&#8217;re gone. As suburban sprawl and strip malls conquer the country, these vestiges of a lost way of life are falling under the wrecking ball. Here the photographer Michael Eastman has made the ultimate road trip, crisscrossing the nation dozens of times, to capture these buildings on film before they vanish. These dreamy images call us to question what we choose to let go in the wake of contemporary life, with a cool melancholy that evokes the work of Edward Hopper, Jack Kerouac, and William Eggleston. There is a wry sense of humor here as well. The book delights in the idiosyncracies of America&#8217;s vernacular styles, ranging from Depression Deco to New England clapboard in random juxtapositions that accrue over time in a town&#8217;s landscape. Countless visual puns arise among the book&#8217;s many detailed images of signs and statuettes. Vanishing America catalogues great everyday American architecture and design. But it also offers a provocative portrait of the silent emptiness that has descended upon vanishing small communities everywhere.]]>

    <![CDATA[More than a hundred extraordinary portraits&#8212;lush, rich, textured, sculptural&#8212;that reveal the spirit and nobility of the horse. Portraits of horses gazing at the camera, standing in the golden light, stamping away flies, galloping, bucking, rolling in the dust. <br/><br/>They are the work of Michael Eastman, a self-taught photographer influenced by Edward Weston, Walker Evans, and Henry Moore, who spent thirty years capturing the essential nature of subjects that range from Cuban life to landscapes to architecture in many places. Now he turns his refined eye to the magnificent horse.<br/>Eastman has caught the animal&#8217;s complexity and power, fear and courage, goodness, masculinity, femininity, uniqueness.<br/><br/>&#8220;All animals are wonderful,&#8221; says Eastman, &#8220;but horses are truly mythic.&#8221;]]>
