| Black Rock: Portraits
on the Playa |

| Before the world land speed
record was broken there, before all those car commercials...even before
Burning Man, there was Black Rock: Portraits on the Playa Own
a piece of history! Very few copies left. |

| Driftwood Whimsy:
The Sculptures of the Emeryville Mudflats |

| A San Francisco Bay fixture
for many years, these whimsical sculptures were constructed by local

| "Keister
does not presume to give easy answers or even the full complexity
of the issue, but he does provide an admirable glimpse into the life
of one family who genuinely loves the rain forest and who are trying
to create a sustainable living from it." |

REVIEWS |

"You can't help being intrigued by Black Rock: Portraits
on the Playa because all the photos in the book seem to have
stories behind them... (Keister's) story is well worth knowing because
it shows how photography can be used not just to make a living,
but to remake a life."
