"Every photo, every 'ONCE' in time is also the beginning of a story starting 'once upon a time.' Every photo is the first frame of a movie."--Wim Wenders. Wim Wenders ranks among the great artistic minds of contemporary film. Over the past 30 years his films, such as Paris, Texas, and Faraway, So Close have displayed such wisdom, creativity, and sensitivity that they have transcended boundaries of nationality and language. Wenders brings the same deft touch for storytelling and the same cinematic feel to this collection of photographic essays. Once consists of short, autobiographical sketches by Wenders paired with the photographs he has taken on his trips around the world. At once a travel diary, photo album, and series of short stories and films, Once gives us a unique look at the universe Wenders has created out of the hidden pieces of everyday life.
