Jeff Mermelstein is one of the most highly regarded American photographers working today. I’ve previously written about his work on Brooklyn’s Barclays Center here. In that post, I noted that Mermelstein is not only highly regarded, but also prolific. In fact, he’s so prolific I’ve got a new book to talk about: “Hardened” (Morel, 2019).
