Roe Ethridge is a photographer born in Miami in 1969. Moving between the boundaries of commercial and art photography, he has presented works that combine advertising, fashion, everyday landscapes, and still lifes.
Rockaway, NY is a photobook published by SteidlMACK in 2007. Taking Rockaway, a seaside area in Queens, New York, as its subject, the book includes images of snow-covered boardwalks, cemeteries, local shops, and quiet streets at the end of summer, capturing the landscapes that remain in this coastal town.
While the photographs may at first appear to document a single place, the book also includes images taken in other locations, creating a composition in which landscape photography, snapshots, and commercially inflected images coexist. Centered on the idea of Rockaway as a place, this volume offers insight into Ethridge’s handling of personal memory and more generalized images within photography.
