The World from my Front Porch by Larry Towell Hardback, 224 pages 315 x 250 mm / 12.5 x 9.8 inches Photographs: Album section – 58 duotone Object images – 350 colour Published in association with the Archive of Modern Conflict ISBN: 978-1-905712-09-0 Publication date: 5 June 2008 Order and receive this book now as on exclusive pre-release from Foto8. Larry Towell’s personal album is a book about his home, its history and the world seen from its viewpoint. Towell’s pictures of his family’s life on their farm is bookended by his family album and history, and by the journeys beyond his front porch, as photographer, poet and storyteller, into the lives and struggles of people dispossessed by conflict. It is both a rage against injustice and the romantic expression of an ideal worth fighting for.
