40 Ways of Looking at Manhattan
- Ask any 40 Manhattanites at random to tell you what sights every visitor should see… The answers are likely to be pretty similar.
- Ask the same 40 to name their favorite place in the city, maybe a little bit secret… Someplace they wish visitors might give a little time to… Now the answers will be all over the map.
40 Ways of Looking at Manhattan is one photographer’s response to the assignment: Find 40 ways of looking at Manhattan. Timothy Sagosz spent two years rambling the island of Manhattan to assemble his own answer to the question: “What should visitors see?” These black and white photographs are just part of the resulting portfolio. Laura Cameron has added a short introduction and captions to the photographs. She also introduces us to a few of the “40 random Manhattanites” that might have been Timothy’s guides around town.

An Abecedarium of Ornaments
What is more random than a Christmas tree, where acorns and birds share a bough with stars, reindeer and teapots? The alphabet comes close in randomness. Why aren’t the vowels all budged up together? Why aren’t the sibilant c’s and s’s grouped neatly?
An Abecedarium of Ornaments is a charming visual memoir that organizes alphabetically all the myriad Christmas ornaments collected by Laura Cameron and her husband, Timothy Sagosz. In their 30+ years together, their Christmas trees stood in Britain, New York, California and Washington. Their ornaments are from all over the world.
Bright photographs fill the book’s pages. There are more than 200 ornaments, from apples to cats (so many cats!), from electric guitars to crystal snowflakes. Each is accompanied by a few lines recalling when, how or from whom each ornament arrived. A little tree-shaped icon even tells readers where the ornament hangs on the tree.
