This book is a celebration of the power of the smartphone camera
combined with Thomas A. Kligerman's unique eye. Tom is a New York
architect who adores travel and the different cultures of the
world, recording vibrant details and evocative scenes on his device
as he journeys from India to New Mexico, from Beaux-Arts monuments
to rustic barns, from ocean to mountaintop. The images have been
curated into dynamic pairs that spark a conversation about the
world and the different ways of seeing it. They are accompanied by
Tom's reflections, and those of his Instagram followers, in a
series of captions, comments and mini essays. More inspiration from
the digital world come in the form of QR codes, used throughout the
book to transport readers from the printed page to sites in the
online universe, in a magical mystery tour of stimulating
experience. Readers will never know what to expect or what they
will find. This book is a child of the pandemic, a time when people
could only dream of traveling or relive past experiences, as Tom
has done, from his camera roll. It rejoices in both the potential
of new media and the physical pleasure given by a beautifully made
and structured book, a new take on the notion of armchair travel -
exuberant, witty and expert.
