Description

Middlebury VT: Vermont Folklife Center, 2005. 1st. Softcover. Very Good/None. Softcover, 135 pages, b&w photos throughout. Neil Rappaport was a documentary photographer and teacher (27 years at Bennington College) who lived in Pawlet, Vermont for 30 years,. He was obsessed with recording how life in one small rural town was changing and being changed in the latter decades of the twentieth century. When he died suddenly in 1998, he left behind thousands of images: the town’s well-known slate quarries, its farms that were rapidly declining in numbers, and its pastoral landscape. But most of all, he photographed its people – individuals, families, groups – at work, at play, and at rest, in settings of their own choosing. For this volume, Susanne Rappaport has selected the best of her late husband’s work. She has juxtaposed them with historical photographs taken by two Pawlet women from the early years of the century., and with selections from oral histories she collected from some of the subjects of her late husband’s portraits. In addition, she has added her own poignant recollections, mixed with excerpts from Neil’s writings. Clean, bright copy. Record # 383240
