<b>A captivating volume that transports us onto the San Francisco streets of the 1970s through the black-and-white images of a previously unknown master of 20th-century photography, Barbara Ramos.<br><br> "Published for the first time in <i>A Fearless Eye</i>, Ramos’s work captures minute and mesmerizing everyday scenes in a city that was about to change drastically." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br><br> “Ramos’s decision to release <i>A Fearless Eye</i> now, after a 50-year hiatus from photography, is certainly a gift to California and beyond. But it’s especially a gift to those of us who love San Francisco: its streets, its people, its history. Ramos has frozen each of those in time and given us a gorgeous permanent record of this city’s past.” —KQED</b><br><br>Unearthed fifty years after they were originally taken, Ramos's photographs offer up stirring scenes from everyday life—a group of Hari Krishnas sing on Market Street, a window dresser changes a mannequin at the Union Square Macy’s, two men lean in for a kiss at a peace rally in Golden Gate Park. <i>A Fearless Eye</i> brings Ramos's images to print for the very first time, introducing audiences to a photographer whose work belongs alongside that of Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, and Vivian Maier.<br><br> Featuring a preface by award-winning novelist and essayist Rachel Kushner, an essay by photography historian Sally Stein, and an interview with Ramos by photographer and writer Stephen A. Heller, this enthralling street photography book is a fascinating time capsule of a bygone moment in California history.<br><br>FILM PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK: In his profile of Barbara Ramos in <i>Black &amp; White</i> magazine, Stephen A. Heller calls her photographs “startling in their humanity, objectivity, and originality," observing that they "deserve to share center stage with those of Frank, Maier, Arbus, and Friedlander.” <i>A Fearless Eye</i> provides an exciting introduction to this previously unsung talent through
