Loosen up by Sitting down in Photographer John Davies' New Book

Photographer John Davies offers a stunning assemblage of photographs depicting people who are watching the world go by while sitting. As the title denotes, Sitting Around is an extraordinary compilation of people taking the weight off their feet as they loosen up and take a break from the hectic pace of life.

Sitting is, safe to say, as old as mankind. At home, in the office, while waiting, in parks, in coffee shops and the list goes on, it allows for a period of rest as a hiatus to the demands of day-to-day living. It varies in forms and styles depending on what one may deem comfortable or practical while taking some time out. While some simply park themselves for a brief pause, others take the stance to perform work, accomplish hobbies, or simply just putting their feet up for the benefit of diversion.

Set in the backdrop of various settings the world over, Davies breathtakingly reveals this commonplace act through the art of photography. A globetrotter with a keen eye for perfection, he tenders a chain of picturesque snapshots of people sitting. Proof that despite the mania associated with technology and the demands of times in general life, sitting around is still one of life's genuine pleasures. This book is a phenomenal exposition of the hoi polloi from all walks of life. With captions kept at a minimum, only to display the geographic locations of the photos, each masterpiece is amenable for personal contemplation: the drama, ennui and the splendor of each scene.

This photo-book depicts in its entirety the act of sitting down. From solitary to social, from comfy chairs to no chairs, and from Central Park, New York to Beilingxiang Park in northeast China, Sitting Around is a stellar collection of people taking a breather.
