From the state fair to the boxing ring, from gritty city corner to rural back porch Arndt's photographs present a compelling documentary of working class Minnesota. Intended as a tribute to the
photographer's home state, 157 beautiful gelatin-silver street portraits spanning some 40 years show ordinary people doing ordinary things, or as Garrison Keillor says in his forward,"Waiting
for something to happen". Also included are a preface by the author, an informative introduction by photographic historian George Slade and artist's notes. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc.,
