A captivating volume that transports us onto the San Francisco streets of the 1970s through the black-and-white images ofa previously unknown master of 20th-century photography, Barbara Ramos.

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. A Fearless Eye 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.

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.

Perfect for:

• Lovers of vintage, historical, and street photography
• San Francisco residents, visitors, and armchair historians
• Museum-goers and fans of such renowned American photographers as Diane Arbus, Vivian Maier, and Robert Frank
• Fans of Barbara Ramos's unconventional story and unparalleled work
