Stuart Klipper's new book has a slipcase that was crafted from salvaged New Orleans heart pine.

Minneapolis-based panoramic photographer, Stuart Klipper, has published a book with The Press at Colorado College, A City as Once Seen, of images he made while on multiple visits to the city of New Orleans. The book features twenty-seven, new panoramic photographs.

From the press release:

This book, with its images and texts, stands as a reminder of the importance of a city that has long quickened the pulse of America’s heartbeat and added spice to the American soul.

Five of the photographs are paired with texts. Stuart enlisted five of his friends, all New Orleans-based writers to involve themselves in the project that preceded and prompted this book. Each was asked to select and in turn respond in writing to one of the 27 images. The book is structured so that each of these outstanding original vignettes counterpoint the photographs that inspired them.

A City as Once Seen: Photographs by Stuart Klipper has been printed in an edition of 40, and is expected to sell out soon, so if you are interested please call or email The Press at Colorado College to claim your copy today.

A portion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to relief and rebuilding efforts in New Orleans.

Stuart's editions Icebreaker, Emperor penguin, Southern O., Antarctica and Swell, Southern Ocean near 50 S, Antarctica are still available in all three print sizes.
