Being photographs of a regular guy, James Holloway, a middle-aged bachelor and projectionist living in El Paso, Texas, befriended by the photojournalist. "A document of Michael Schmelling's friendship with James Holloway, a Texas native and union projectionist. The project began in 1996, when Schmelling met Holloway at a film screening while on assignment in Texas for Associated Press. An unflinching and intimate portrait of a single, white middle-aged man. The photographs, taken in El Paso, constitute a documentary of contemporary American life. Michael Schmelling lives in New York City and is a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, The Fader, and Details" (Publisher's blurb). Deliberately mundane and matter-of-fact, the collection enjoys a cult following as a photography book in the same vein as Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld, and in the way it evokes American life, the un-celebrated kind, in this case, that of a "lowly" - in our view, which says a lot about us - worker. Who is typically viewed and presented by mass media as lonely (being single) and unworthy of a photographer's, or anyone else's attention. The book asks, "Who deserves to be photographed and to be looked at by us?". An absolute "must-have" title for Michael Schmelling collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Michael Schmelling. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a cult art photography title. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0970165633. Signed by Author. …

New York, 1977.In a statement about the origins of 'After Dark' Als' said:"many years ago i wanted to publish a broad sheet called AFTER DARK after the wonderful old tacky show biz seventies rag that would feature one photo a month with text on the back. life intruded. it didn't happen. in the last couple of years i began seeing posters around nyc that grabbed my attention. they were for richard maxwell performances, and i loved image and text. i asked RM who did the work, and he told me a friend of his named michael. i contacted michael and within weeks we were working together. (we've never met, he lives in LA.) i had loved and coveted this saul leiter picture ever since i saw it at his gallery shortly before he died. i didn't think we could get it, but contacted leiter's estate anyway. they were great, gave us permission right away. the text i had written some time ago. and we were off. we will be printing soon, and i hope that friends with galleries and other spaces can carry the paper (it's printed on newsprint and folds up) and maybe a few bookstores. i'm not charging money for it, it's just my little gallery on wheels every month featuring photographers and artists (drawings look beautiful on this kind of paper, too) and with a little text by me or someone else (poetry, three sentences, a thousand words, a song lyric) on the other side of the image. that's the basic idea/thing. a little gallery on wheels with its own catalogue. you can send suggestions or people to me or Michael - who also is an excellent copy editor, i'm not - here for future issues. love, hilton."The first five issues of 'After Dark' were originally presented at White Columns as a part of 'Looking Back: The 11th White Columns Annual' curated by Anne Doran.
