Lengthily inscribed by Chauncey Hare on the title page.

Prior to taking up photography he worked as an oil industry engineer for over 20 years becoming increasingly alienated from his work and the attitudes it forced him to take. A chilling body of work that is a harsh indictment of the consequences of industrial production and the alienation it produces in the lives of individuals."
