Joel Sternfeld entwines two personal stories in this book that together reveal the roots and evolution of color theory in his work over the past five decades. In the summer of 1975, facing surgery with a risk of paralysis, Sternfeld went in search of a last idyll-and found it in Nags Head on North Carolina's Outer Banks. From June to August he photographed the seaside town floating in time, capturing a dreamlike sense of solace. Sternfeld's images show beachgoers of all ages in various scenes of leisure and recreation in this, his first body of work addressing a season. At the time, Sternfeld was already committed to color as the basis of photographic expression and fascinated by Josef Albers' Interaction of Color: "Any time that I saw a color phenomenon in the landscape that somehow coincided with an Albers-type exercise in the perceptual properties of color, I made a photograph." Yet this summer sojourn was tragically broken by the death of Sternfeld's brother; the photographer returned to New York, never to go back to Nags Head. Eventually Sternfeld resumed working and one day headed to Rockaway Beach, Queens. Here he took a picture in which "All at once the ugly scene appeared beautiful to me"-the hues of sand, apartments and sky fused into a cohesive whole: finally, content had been transcended through color. This photo, made in despair and with its perceptual foundation in the Nags Head series, would lead, a few years later, to the color structures of Sternfeld's magnum opus American Prospects, his ambitious realization of what he had always wanted to do: follow the seasons across America.

So cutie
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
This is a bit large for a travel size jewelry box lol I really thought it was going to be a bit smaller than what it was. I can see why some of the ladies in the comments are saying they’re using it as their main jewelry box since they don’t have much jewelry for a standard sized jewelry box. With that being said, it’s cute and CAN be small enough for travel. It fits a lot and I got this one in particular bc I like that it has a bigger lower compartment for larger pieces. It’s a nice quality travel jewelry box. It’ll fit my needs. But if you have a knack for packing small and you value space. I’d say skip on this one or do due diligence to double check the measurements to see if it’s something you’re okay with packing.

CUTE
Color: Cloud White, Material Type: Paper, PU
I absolutely love this jewelry organizer! The 2-layer design gives it plenty of space without being bulky, making it perfect for travel. I was able to neatly store my earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets without anything getting tangled. The interior is soft and protects my jewelry really well, and the compartments are thoughtfully designed to keep everything in place. The compact size fits easily in my suitcase or handbag, which is a huge plus. The cloud white color looks elegant and makes it feel like a great gift option too. Overall, it’s practical, stylish, and very convenient for keeping jewelry organized on the go. Highly
