"Rivers & Towns" is a photo collection by American photographer Mark Steinmetz. Born in Manhattan to a Dutch father and a Parisian-born mother, Steinmetz was exposed to and influenced by the work of renowned photographers from an early age. While respecting the styles of Robert Frank, Helen Levitt, Garry Winogrand, and William Eggleston, who have long depicted America, Steinmetz, as a mixed-race European photographer, has continued to challenge not only tradition but also innovation. While his work primarily focuses on America, it also features sophisticated, modern snapshot portraits, blending the old and the new for a number of contemporary illustrations that continue to garner attention. This book depicts a working-class town in Connecticut in the 1980s. Amidst a climate of decline and gloom, as factories have peaked and factories have ceased operations, this lyrical collection of photographs depicts Steinmetz's journey to rediscover children, hope, and himself as a photographer.
