For decades,\xa0David\xa0Alexander\xa0enjoyed a successful career as a commercial photographer, known for his work on the album covers of artists such as the Eagles, Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt, James Brown, Ringo Starr, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, to name just a few, and movie posters for box office smashes like\xa0The Blues Brothers\xa0and\xa09 to 5. In the process of making art, he began to see connections that expanded his thinking about the planet we humans share with the environment.\xa0In his debut book,\xa0PICTURES OF TIME: Seeing Time in the Ordinary World\xa0(Silver Street Media; April 22, 2024; ISBN: 9781542212786; $70.00/Hardcover; 12 x 12; 124 pages),\xa0David\xa0Alexander\xa0uses the language of photography to share his revelations into how all living things are connected, and how these connections are often hidden in plain sight all around us. The common bond is a constant, yet continually changing, fact of life: time. As\xa0Alexander\xa0reflects: "I find the ordinary world to be extraordinary, and I hope that comes through in the photographs. I want the book to reveal signs of evolution for the reader-glimpsing the past by looking closely at the present, seeing connections among living and natural things, and, ultimately, feeling our place during evolution, i.e., time. Seeing and taking pictures of this stuff, to me, is fun and often funny."Organized by descriptive chapter headings-Shape, Pairing, Reflection, Rhythm, Together, and Aging-Pictures of Time presents a collection of full-color photographs of people, trees, flowers, and birds captured in similar configurations or forms.\xa0
