"Etranger" is a book of 53 black/white and color photographs
including urban street scenes, rural landscapes, portraits,
abandoned railroad tracks, subways and train stations, and old
cars. The images were taken during journeys across America, Spain,
and Israel. Mike Spitzs photos capture solitude in its many forms.
Ranging in style from documentary and photo-journalistic to rural
and more abstract images, his photography is heavily influenced by
the visual landscape of the places where he has lived, including
Ohio, New York, New Orleans, Chicago, and Paris. Spitzs background
in film and cinematography enhances his work as a photographer,
giving his photos a strong narrative and composition, deep emotion,
and a cinematic visual style. The photography of Mike Spitz has
been compared to the likes of Henri Cartier Bresson, Walker Evans,
and George Tice. "These photographs represent a single voice and
vision. The choice of images, composition, character of the objects
and subjects show a sensitive, conscious presence that animates the
images with their point of view and framing. The objects and people
are compellingly alive, even when only parts of bodies are shown.
That's what grabs my attention." (Bruce Joel Rubin, screenwriter
for movies Ghost, Jacob's Ladder)
