Wright Brothers: Then And Now - Hardcover

Dan's images represent moving back in time while standing in the present day. This historical, engaging project is filled with images of flight and other kinds of transportation from both the past and the present (ships, cars, and horse-drawn carriages). As a photographer, it must be a powerful experience to document these places while imagining the Wright brothers flying overhead! His images offer proof of events largely unknown by the rest of the world. Cleary offers viewers rare glimpses of life in these culturally and emotionally colorful historical environments. And in these environments, there is a stark comparison between the beauty of the contemporary, wide-open city and landscapes and visions of the historical sky above. The urban images are full of events and people going about their everyday lives. Everyone is probably thinking about the future and what comes next. Yet, he reminds us that the present could not be possible without all the events that occurred in these same places. Dan's photographic style of layering an image within an image speaks about the passage of time, nostalgia, and the relationship between American history and the way life continues to thrive. The color and the black and white images compare and contrast two experiences of the moment and over time. These photos create a sense of mood, atmosphere, and drama. The photos are interesting because they blur the line between fine art photography, historical photography, street photography, and documentary photography.
