Hardcover. A vivid photographic record of a teen subculture living a perilous life on the tracks the GuardianAt age 17, American photographer Mike Brodie hopped his first train close to home in Pensacola, Florida thinking he would visit a friend in Mobile, Alabama. Instead, the train went in the opposite direction to Jacksonville, Florida. Though he returned home a few days later, it sparked a desire to wander across the United States by any means that were free: walking, hitchhiking and train hopping. Despite having no formal training in photography, Brodie took a camera salvaged from behind a carseat and began to document his experiences on 35mm film. His portraits of fellow rail-riders have a soft, romantic warmth that belies Brodies earnestness. A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, Brodies first book, now in its fifth edition, was named one of the best photo books of 2013 by the Guardian, the New York Times, the Telegraph and American Photo Magazine.Mike Brodie (born 1985) began his photography career while hitchhiking across the United States. He is best known for his images of young rail-riders and nomads and became known as the Polaroid Kidd among this itinerant community. After publication of A Period of Juvenile Prosperity Brodie took a hiatus from the art world, but not from photography. He has continued photographing for the past decade, and is currently editing a book of new work planned for release in 2024. "The images within this book were made between 2006 and 2009 in the United States using Kodak film. The photographs are copyright Mike Brodie, 2012."--Colophon.

A 17 anni Mike Brodie salì sul suo primo treno vicino casa sua a Pensacola, in Florida, pensando di far visita ad un amico di Mobile, in Alabama. Il suo treno invece andava nella direzione opposta a Jacksonville, FL. Giorni dopo, Brodie era sullo stesso treno diretto verso casa, tornando così al punto di partenza. Questo episodio aveva dato il via a qualcosa, e Brodie prese da quel momento a vagare per gli Stati Uniti con ogni mezzo libero, a piedi, in autostop e in treno.Poco dopo, Brodie trovò una macchina fotografica dietro un seggiolino. Da questo momento ha trascorso anni a girare in lungo e in largo per gli Stati Uniti documentando le sue esperienze, ora considerate come uno degli archivi più impressionanti della fotografia di viaggio americana. Alla domanda sul suo approccio al viaggio e alla fotografia Brodie ha detto: "a volte prendo un treno nella direzione sbagliata.. qualunque cosa accada, ne uscirà una foto, quindi non importa dove finirò."
