Photography deepens our connections to the world around us, to
ourselves, and to one another. In this new and innovative series,
Aperture works with the world’s top photographers, many of whom
also teach, to publish their core thinking on photography—making
their experience, insight, and knowledge accessible to a wider
audience, including students. Each title in the series will provide
an essential primer on the photographer’s area of expertise and
creative process. The key points of their practice are presented in
the photographer’s own words, and will answer the questions they
are asked most frequently. The commentary will accompany a
selection of fifty photographs—iconic images by each featured
photographer, as well as key images by others that have influenced
their thinking and work. Both individually and collectively, each
book in the series functions as a “workshop in a book,” serving
as an indispensable tool for students, teachers, and everyone who
wants to take better pictures or learn to look at them in a more
informed way.
This is the first book to detail both the public and private side
of a wildly popular yet little understood American sport.
Demolition derbies began in the late 1950s and today an estimated
one million fans attend the 1,500 to 2,500 or more demolition
derbies held around the United States each year.

Born in 1941, Larry Fink was a teenager in the 1950s in an America
on the cusp of radical social change. Growing up on Long Island in
New York, Larry Fink was disinterested in the consumer-driven
culture of 1950s' America. A disaffected teenager, his parents
transferred him to art school where his career as a photographer
began to flourish. His parents were supportive of his interest in
the arts, and Fink would later drop out of college to join a circle
of artists living in Greenwich Village. Fink spent the 1960s
watching and learning from the prominent photographers of the time:
Henri Cartier- Bresson, Robert Frank, W. Eugene Smith, and in many
ways, his photographic aesthetic and rebellious spirit encapsulate
the dramatic lose of innocence that the US underwent after the
assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. photographic mentor.
