Summary

Barbara Crane's subjects are commonplace: a piece of driftwood, a cluster of wild mushrooms, a crowd of commuters rushing for the train. The resulting photographs, however, are far from ordinary. This book celebrates this Chicagoan's wide-ranging art with a collection of more than 250 color and black-and-white photographs.
