Böcker av Ben Geier

There’s something about the abandoned restaurants, vintage motels, and forgotten restaurants of the 1950s and 60s that evokes a mid-century nostalgia, even for those of us who weren’t alive in those years. Faded Glamour brings together the photography of Ben Geier, who has spent the last decade traveling the United States to capture the images of these once vibrant, and now abandoned treasures.Organized in sections, including Signs, Theaters, Restaurants, and Motels, and featuring an introduction by the photographer, Faded Glamour features over 150 color images never before seen in book form. Evoking a sense of nostalgia and solitude, Geier’s work highlights the modernist architecture, minimalist design, and muted color palette of the mid-century.
