| Summary |
It's four o'clock in the afternoon and the regulars start to file into the perpetual twilight of a downtown bar in Philadelphia. Bartender Sarah Stolfa pours out the drinks then picks up her camera. Her portraits are both stark and resonant, tender and alienating, and they capture something deeply specific to the place yet relevant to watering holes everywhere. The series launched her career as an artist, winning awards and appearing in the pages of the New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker and several gallery shows. You'll meet the rebellious college student with pink-streak- ed hair and a bottle of hangover-inducing brew; the sharply dressed businessman with a yearning look; the pensive loner carefully ignoring his newspaper and bag of chips; and the former prom king with his tie and V-neck sweater, double fisting a shot and a beer. The urban bar experience is brought to life in these pages, topped off with an introduction written by best-selling author Jonathan Franzen and Stolfa's own meditations on finding her inspiration while tending bar. For young hipsters, grizzled old-timers, and everyone in between, The Regulars is as elegant as an Old Master painting and as down-home as a bottle of Bud. |
