About Apartment 304 Dark Spring Press is proud to announce Apartment 304 by Alan Ostreicher, a collection of black and white photos which captures quiet, seemingly inconsequential day to day moments from Ostreicher’s San Francisco apartment and also ultimately operates as a contemplation on the medium of photography itself. "So, around 2006, San Francisco photographer Alan Ostreicher got a simple idea: Why not document life in his apartment? It would be a personal project, so not necessarily intended for anyone beyond him and his wife. Who else would want to capture such mundane subject matter anyway? But jump ahead to the pandemic of 2020, and the obvious answer is seemingly every photographer on the planet. Stuck inside, we’re all turning our lens on whatever is around us. Timing, as they say, is everything, and so perception of the images in Ostreicher’s newly released monograph has been co-opted by our strange times. Yet he has created a tender and contemplative body of images that stand on their own and will retain their subtle appeal when sheltering in place is a just a memory." - Wayne Swanson Related Links Books by Alan Ostreicher Books by Dark Spring Press Show more
