A conversation with Mark Steinmetz
Josh speaks to Photographer Mark Steinmetz about his new book France 1987.
In 1987, there were no cell phones or digital cameras. To meet up with someone you had to set a time and a place and each of you had to stick to the plan. The seasons seemed to linger around more, and in general, everyone seemed to have more time. The parks, museums, and subways were less crowded. The rhythm of daily life was more relaxed. People were worried in 1987, but not as worried as we are now.” - From the Introduction by Mark Steinmetz

Much appreciated thank you Wesley ✨❤️
Met Mark back around 1990 in Knoxville, Tennessee, when he taught at the University of Tennessee and I worked at the local pro photo store. Glad he's doing well and having his photos published.
I love the idea of how the 80s (even the 90s) were "a different relationship with time" like Mark said here. That's so, so true and the one thing I miss the most about pre-information age. It's also a big reason I picked up film 5 years ago in the first place. I yearned to put my phone away (or digital camera), be more present, and improve my relationship with time. What a great convo. Thanks guys!

Ah 1987! The year I got married. I still have my Olympus OM4 and OM1n from that time period although they’re now just Objets d’Art!

74€ + 24€ shipping... man... collecting or even just shopping photobooks have become a really expensive hobby :(

Such an expensive hobby. Gets even more expensive if you don't hear about a book in time and you have to buy it on the secondary market... Not sure where you are in Europe, but plenty of local bookstores have France 1987 in stock. At least you can save a bit on shipping =)

That would be nice, but here in Germany, I only find a good collection of photo books in the big cities. Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich etc. But that’s why I’m very thankful that Framelines is also digitally available 😃😃
