哈斯最珍视的个人项目——最初构想为一场视听幻灯片放映——在此以令人惊叹的色彩重现，定会让他的众多粉丝以及所有对柯达克罗姆彩色胶片摄影感兴趣的人大喜过望。

该项目完成三十年后，哈斯最个人化且鲜为人知的作品首次以这本制作精美的书籍形式面世。本书设计简洁明快，收录的作品复制品质量上乘，让读者得以欣赏哈斯在色彩、光线和构图上的精湛技艺，以及他捕捉日常生活神秘之美的能力。为编纂此作品集，哈斯精选了他1952年至1984年职业生涯各个阶段拍摄的图片，尽管书名如此，但其中大部分照片并非抽象之作，而是清晰、聚焦、曝光良好的周遭可观察世界中可辨识表面的图像：剥落的油漆、醒目的道路标记、织物、液体、碎屑、腐朽之物和撕裂的海报。大卫·坎帕尼措辞流畅的引言为深入欣赏这场幻灯片放映奠定了基础，而以书籍形式呈现的作品则能以一种全新的方式被细细品味和理解。

Haas’ most cherished and personal project—originally conceived as an audiovisual slideshow—is recreated here in stunning color that will delight his numerous fans as well as anyone interested in Kodachrome photography.

Three decades after its completion, Haas’ most personal and least-known project is now available for the first time in this exquisitely produced book. Presented in a clean and spare design, this volume features reproductions of superb quality that allow readers to appreciate his mastery of color, light, and composition, and his ability to capture the mystery of daily life. For this collection Haas drew on images made in all phases of his career from 1952 to 1984, and, despite the title, most of these photographs are not abstract but rather clear, focused, well-exposed images of recognizable surfaces from the observable world around him: crumbling paint, graphic road markings, fabric, liquids, detritus, decay, and torn posters. David Campany’s eloquent introductory essay lays the groundwork for a deep appreciation of the slideshow which, in book form, can be savored and understood in an entirely new way.
