A. Aubrey Bodine, newspaper photographer, pictorialist, modernist,
and documentarian, was a Baltimore Sunday Sun feature photographer
from 1924 to 1970. He left an archive of photographs, chronicling
mid-twentieth century American life, of people doing all kinds of
work. Bodine's images of heavy industry document an era passed.
This book contains a wide range of award winning and historically
significant images, many not seen since they were published in the
Sun. These pictures demonstrate Bodine's extraordinary depth and
breadth as a photographic artist. This is the third Bodine picture
book assembled by his daughter, Jennifer. Their previous
collaborations are Bodine's Chesapeake Bay Country and Bodine's
City.
Photography in the United States was a big thrill, but I always get
a bigger thrill when I make a picture of a fleet of dredge boats
moving over an oyster bed on a beautiful autumn day. A. Aubrey
Bodine Bodines Chesapeake Bay Country is by and about A. Aubrey
Bodine, one of the greatest photographers of his time and a
Maryland treasure. Bodines photographs chronicled nearly every
aspect of Maryland life on the pages of the Baltimore Sun papers
from 1924 to 1970, and won nearly a thousand awards in national and
international competitions. This volume, containing 286 digitally
restored pictures, is divided into five distinct areas of Maryland:
Baltimore and surrounds, Chesapeake Bay, Eastern Shore, Southern
Maryland and Annapolis, and Western Maryland. Published between
1952 and 1970, Bodines first four books, My Maryland, Chesapeake
Bay and Tidewater, Face of Maryland, and Face of Virginia, were
immensely popular. This volume follows a similar format to those
books. Editor Jennifer Bodine, the photographers daughter, has used
essays and photo captions from Bodines earlier books, where
appropriate, to convey Bodines unique observations and his own
words. The Baltimore Sun graciously gave Jennifer Bodine access to
its extensive archive, allowing her to include unique, interesting,
and historical photographs from the Sun collection. Photographs
also were selected from Bodines books, and the Bodine family
archive.
