Miami, Real and Imagined

When former photographer and commercial real estate executive Hank Klein suffered a debilitating stroke in 2012, experimenting with photographic effects became an important part of his recovery. Viewed through a Leica lens and Klein’s vision and imagination, more than 200 colourful Miami scenes invite readers to view the same subject matter in two ways - one as a traditional photograph and one reinterpreted with colour, texture, and cropping. From the landmark Freedom Tower to an Everglades alligator, from Herzog and de Meuron’s snazzy new Perez Art Museum to the old Vagabond Motel, striking compositions become more complex with the aid of technology and Klein’s haiku-like commentary.
