Like New in Fine jacket. Size: 10x1x13; The dustjacket has some light wear, else in Near Fine condition. This colorful volume is a celebration of the customized lowrider cars that are a vital part of a particular Hispanic subculture in New Mexico. They have amazing custom paint jobs, upholstery, steering wheels, and even murals on the hood, trunk, or sides. Parsons has photographed many of these cars and their owners, capturing them in the New Mexico landscape of adobe churches and wide blue skies. Padilla's text complements the photographs with profiles of the cars' owners and creators, and Arellano's dialogs in lowrider slang give the reader a taste of the lifestyle. The exceptional photographs evoke a uniquely New Mexican experience that will capture the interest of many readers. Photographer Jack Parsons has spent almost forty years investigating the light, landscapes and cultures of the American Southwest. In September 2006, New Mexico honored his unique career with the Governor's Award for Excellence and Achievement in the Arts. Jack Parsons has published more than a dozen books, details of which are here. He pioneered the "lifestyle" genre with Rizzoli's international best-seller "Santa Fe Style", which has been followed by numerous best-selling volumes on art, décor and culture. With Carmella Padilla, a fellow recipient of the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence and Achievement in the Arts, Parsons created both "The Chile Chronicles" and "El Rancho de las Golandrinas".
