Publisher's Synopsis

Norma I. Quintana is a photographer and educator working in the tradition of social documentary. In her first monograph, 'Circus', Quintana shoots in black and white film and available light to chronicle her decade-long collaboration with an American, travelling one-ring circus. The photographs in the book are not flash frozen, but a loving history of extended families, another way of living in this world.
