Ordinary Miracles the Photography of Lou Stoumen

Ordinary Miracles: The Photography of Lou Stoumen is a photography monograph published in 1981 by Hand Press in Los Angeles, California. This first edition hardcover volume features 69 black and white photographs captured by artist Lou Stoumen, accompanied by his own text and a brief chronology. The book includes an introduction by William A. Ewing and provides a checklist of the works presented. It was originally published to accompany a traveling exhibition that toured several prominent venues, including the Allentown Art Museum in Pennsylvania, the Frederick S.

The publication serves as a comprehensive record of Stoumen's photographic work, capturing "ordinary miracles" through his distinct artistic lens.
