Life and Beyond is a collaboration between the prize-winning film
director Jonah L. Salander, who is responsible for the beautiful and
profound photographs in this volume, and his father, the artist and poet
Lawrence Salander.
This book is the result of Jonah Salander's habit of walking the streets
of New York City, where for various reasons-including his love for the
city and his profound regard and empathy for the people who live there,
and as a tool for his work as a film director-he photographs those
vignettes he discovers. These photographs inspired the photographer's
father Lawrence to write the accompanying poems.
Lawrence Salander is also the author of Art as I See It, published by
Austin Macauley in 2019.
