Florida Photogenesis: The Work of Creative and Experimental Photographers in Florida

As with underground rivers there are many different streams of photography that have arisen in Florida. Beginning in the late 1950s, there was a particular group of artists/photographers in the academic institutions in Florida who were committed to very different agendas from those held by more traditional photographic artists. Florida Photogenesis includes discussions of these notable photographers--Van Deren Coke, Jerry Uelsmann, Evon Stretman, Douglas Prince, Oscar Bailey, Todd Walker, Robert W. Fichter, David Ager, Tyler Turkle, Virgil Mirano, George Blakely, and Wallace Wilson--along with a selection of their work, biographies, and an interview with Van Deren Coke.
