Noted Realities is Norm’s latest book which is a celebration of attentive observation. Photographs that are the result of careful observation are, first of all, about something. They have something to say that goes beyond what can be captured in a quick snapshot because they are the result of conscious and careful attention. Using a highly methodical approach that gives one the ability to watch, analyze and record the performance of light on objects, to notice chance juxtapositions and peculiar relations of scale, and to appreciate other vicissitudes in life that can make the ordinary appear extraordinary.
Norm’s work appears in textbooks, journals and museums around the world. His photographs are in the permanent collections of more than forty museums including The Smithsonian, The George Eastman Museum, The American History Museum, The Nelson Atkins Museum and the Science Museum in London. He is a Fellow of The Royal Photographic Society in Great Britain and The BioCommunications Association.
