James Donahue, with Michael Melanson (ed.)

Retropeg: Archival Photography of Winnipeg in the 70s by James Donahue

Winnipeg: Omniscope Publishing, 2005. Paper bound, large folio, iii + Pp88. As new. 570 grams. From the front flap: Published here for the first time is a collection of the photography of James Donahue. Best known as a musician and song writer, Jim took these B & W photos of Winnipeg in the early 1970s. It was another world then. It was an easy time, much easier than now, said Jim in an interview for this project. Jim shows us an intimate view of Winnipeg after the figurative 'Dawning of the Age of Aquarius' as it met a new era of promise and change. So bold and endearing were the 70s that its styles and fashions are still wildly popular over thirty years later. Retro is in vogue and this book offers us a retrospective look at why that decade is so fondly remembered and, in a sense, relived. Taken between the years 1970-72, these photographs of a small Canadian city experiencing tumultuous growth tell us what is universal about those particular times and that specific place. Despite the clash of styles and values between a generation that wore fedoras and another that wore their hair long, the human condition in all its marvelous diversity still remained and Jim presents Winnipeg as a microcosm of that human spectrum. Behind the lens is a compassionate eye that always places humanity at the center of life. The moments Donahue captured are remarkable for their spontaneity and sincerity. The images are often archetypal and iconic, captivating in their span of emotion and mood. Most of these photographs are warm but some are haunting and others are surreal. In their entirety they offer us an unusual archive of what the 70s in Winnipeg looked and felt like. I love Winnipeg, said Jim. The really extraordinary thing about Winnipeg is that it can be so moody. When I look at these photos now, I realize just how many different moods the city had back then. I think I caught the feel of the city then. He did. This is Donahue's photography at its best./ We welcome all reasonable offers on our books.
