Claire Yaffa ’57 publishes MOMENTS through Ruder Finn Press
Claire Yaffa '57 has published her new work, Moments, through Ruder Finn Press. Yaffa's work received the following praise from Gordon Park:
A sensitive and distinguished photographer, Yaffa has created a visual poem that evokes the subtle emotions involved with chance encounters and momentary events. Her exquisite black and white photographs are intimate visions of moments lost and moments remembered, of life's unexpected joys and sorrows--and the anticipation of moments yet to come. The images are mysterious, intriguing and personal. Coupled with succinct thoughts, they create a visual poem out of a common treasury of past memories that we all share but often fail to recognize.
