Strange Stories: The Photography of Gerald Davis Details
Review "The images in 'Strange Stories' make a strong case for Gerald Davis as a unique and under-recognized talent, a keen observer of mid to late twentieth-century American life with a wry, playful sensibility that falls somewhere between William Eggleston and John Waters." ―The Paris Review'"Davis had an eye for photographing the world in its often-brazen glory. The photographs in this book lay bare the stranger side of photography with candid shots of celebrities, odd buffet-style spreads of food, and even the macabre images of tagged cadaver toes and blood bathed car interior." ―San Diego Book Review Read more About the Author Born in New York City in 1940, Davis grew up in a working-class family in the Bronx. He spent his career as a photojournalist and worked for numerous European and U.S. magazines. In 1978 he became the photo editor for The National Enquirer, which led to many bizarre assignments.
