There I Was
B. W. Beath
In a time when many of us find ourselves asking "Where am I?" this slim book offers better answers than many weightier volumes.
There I Was presents a number of photographs taken by B. W. Beath during his international peregrinations, along with a brief but insightful text that captures the essential “message” that the images convey. At once staggeringly sophisticated and blushingly naïve, baffling and edifying, these images have about them an uncannily vivid sense of place.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bertram W. Beath, “BW” to those who know him best, was for a time a restaurant reviewer for Boston Biweekly. He is now a peripatetic flâneur, wandering here, there, and everywhere in search of beauty and pleasure. Beath is the alter ego of Matthew Barber, a boyhood friend of Peter Leroy, whose memoirs, The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy, are a voluminous work of fiction by Eric Kraft.
ABOUT THE LIMITED EDITION
There I Was will eventually be incorporated in a longer work. However, this standalone edition is limited to fewer than one hundred printed copies, of which three are designated proof copies and fewer than ninety-seven are for sale.
