About the Book
SPLB (Seattle-Paris-London and Back) is a collection of photographs taken by Sal Celis during a recent urban tour of two of the most vibrant cities in the world, Paris and London. Celis presents large modern metallic black and white prints that celebrate extraordinary yet real moments in the city, emphasized by Celis's keen compositional eye, attention to detail and artistic intuition.
Celis's Facebook friends challenged him to seek out certain subjects as though he was on a photo treasure hunt and he returned with a memorable, universal, and inspiring portfolio much like a contemporary version of the late Vivian Maier's street photography of the 1960's. Images include a young woman dressed in a fur coat and fur gloves holding her camera phone to take a picture, which is also encased in a faux fur accessory. Eight men are seen during a casual game of street chess at Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. A world famous juggler is captured with a soccer ball cradled in his foot while suspended sideways from a light pole at the iconic Montmartre. Tourists overlook the Thames River and Big Ben in a breathtaking view of the London cityscape from the famous London Eye.
