Book Overview

by David Katzenstein (Author), Richard Grosbard (Introduction by)

A collection of photographs created by David Katzenstein using the Duaflex camera, a successor to Kodak's famous Brownie camera.

Brownie is a collection of photographs created by photographer David Katzenstein over ten years, from 1979-1989. With this series, Katzenstein pays homage to the original line of Brownie cameras that began in 1900. For the series, he used the successor to the famous Kodak Brownie, the Kodak Dualflex, which was first introduced in 1947. The result is a colorful, personal, and sensitive view of the world.

Described by one critic as "Hot, Lush and Specific," the series begins in New York City, eventually traveling the globe to explore both distant places and the use of the Kodak Duaflex camera. Throughout the project, Katzenstein's goal was to embrace the camera's limitations as a means of pushing the boundaries of composition, juxtaposing foreground and background while heightening the use of color.
