The Day To Day Life Of Albert Hastings

This title chronicles the life of Albert Hastings, an octogenarian living alone in a small flat in Wales. Bert's writing is paired with Deveney's photographs and together they tell a story of fulfilment, lonliness, hope and beauty.

Deveney's photographs explore 'Cinderella'-style homes built throughout the American Southwest in the 1950s and '60s, when developers applied fairytale-style aesthetics to ranch house exteriors. This book marks the first time these houses are the subject of a publication. These images tell us about a fading vision of the American dream, the last indications of a zeitgeist that encouraged Americans to aspire to a candycoated vision of family and home.
