Inhaltsangabe

An eclectic compilation of smart-phone snapshots from the past four years of the photographer’s daily adventures

The more than 200 smartphone photographs in this collection were taken during American photographer Charles H. Traub’s (born 1945) everyday adventures over the past four years. The smartphone is a constant companion that makes photography a natural reaction to nearly any stimulus, an action as quick and unobtrusive as blinking a third eye. A stream of consciousness flows through Traub's photographic response to the places, things and people that catch his eye. His subjects are often ambiguous and presented with little context; yet once the images are compiled together they create a kind of pictorial completeness that is both soothing and disquieting. In flipping through the pages, readers are provided with a kaleidoscopic slideshow of moments from Traub’s daily life, curated so that each photograph amplifies the others as they lead the reader to the next sequence.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Tickety-Boo is a block of a book with more than two hundred images edited from smart phone photographs taken during Charles H. TraubÆs everyday ramblings over the last four years. The English expression ''tickety-boo'' loosely translates to ''Everything is okay, but maybe everything isn't!'' Therein is the enigmatic crux of the images contained in the book.

The smartphone is an ingenious companion that readily makes a photographic response by Traub quick and unobtrusive û a third eye, if you will. A stream of consciousness flows in his response to places, things, and people that catch his eclectic whimsy. His subjects are ambiguous and out of context, yet once organized together within this book, create a kind of pictorial completeness, both soothing and disquieting. The photographs in each spread vividly amplify each other leading the viewer to the next sequence. The mundane becomes animated, and in the end, this is a book about the delirious conditions of our time.
