Double
Take
In unprecedented scope and detail, celebrated Wisconsin photographer Zane Williams has precisely replicated the original views of an earlier Madison photographer, Angus McVicar, who first shot these locales from the 1920s to the 1950s. The result is a treasure trove of historic and contemporary images and an uncanny testament to the changes over time in a unique American city. Sometimes startling
in their revelations of loss and gain, of progress and decay,
these evocative photographic pairings dare us to look again and
again at the nature of time and place. The seeming inevitability
of change and the often confounding unpredictability of public
taste in our physical surroundings are captured in these documentary
still images, moments frozen in the rushing stream of time. Zane Williams
has been honored with Outstanding Achievement recognition
by the Wisconsin Library Association Literary Awards committee
for his book Double Take: A Rephotographic Survey of Madison. Reviews | Author's photo | Author's bio | Cover image | Images from the book |
